The instructions on http://enigmail.mozdev.org/download/source.php refer
to the Thunderbird 2.x series, they don't apply to TB3.x.

TB3.x directory structure is different. The mailnews directory resides
in parallel to the "mozilla" directory.

"my" mailnews/extensions looks like:

bayesian-spam-filter
smime
dsn
enigmail
mailviews
Makefile.in
mdn
newsblog
offline-startup
palmsync

if that's where you place enigmail, then it's right.

Sorry, can't help you there. We'll have to wait for Patrick.
