If you had left in zsh's default fpath elements, it would have worked
better:

fpath=( $fpath /more/fpath/paths )

If you have subdirs inside site-functions, or some other local
directory, just use a wildcard to enumerate them ( /primary/path/**/ ) .

The default value of $fpath on my s10b72 box is:

( /usr/sfw/share/zsh/site-functions
/usr/sfw/share/zsh/4.2.1/functions/Completion
/usr/sfw/share/zsh/4.2.1/functions/Completion/AIX

/usr/sfw/share/zsh/4.2.1/functions/Completion/Base
