It should work.

Here are some things to try:

 1) After the library is dlopen'd, are you able to place a breakpoint
    in the shared library and continue to the breakpoint?

 2) Are you able to step into other types of shared libraries (i.e,
    ones that aren't dlopen'd?

(This won't directly solve your problem, but knowing the answers might
help us to figure out what's going wrong.)
