Hello, Brad :)
I don't know if this is exactly the same as your problem, but I had what
appears to be the same problem just the other day.
I couldn't figure out why Bibletime said I only had one module installed
when I was logged in as a regular user, but when I was su'd into root,
Bibletime showed all my modules.  I discovered that for some reason, I
had extracted that one module that I could see as a regular user, into
my home directory!  So, at least in my case, Bibletime looked in my home
directory before it looked at /usr/share/sword.  When I deleted the
mods.d and modules directories from my home directory, all of a sudden
all of my modules appeared :)  As an experiment, I just unzipped one
module into my home directory, and when I started Bibletime, it said I
only had one module.  When I deleted the mods.d and modules directories
from my HOME directory, not /usr/share/sword, ALL of my modules were
suddenly back :)

I hope this will be of help to you :)

P.S.: I use Red Hat 8 as well, but I've had the same problem with other
versions of Red Hat, and other versions of Bibletime.
