Nope, didnt work. Put it in the doom 3 folder and even tried in the base 
folder and all that was showing up in the mods panel was doom 3.

Anyway this was the path I had for barista3_1 which I am sure was the right 
way to do it :
E:\Doom 3\barista3_1 and then 
def/maps/newpdas/skins/guis/materials/script/sound are all subfolders inside 
the barista3_1 folder

I guess there might be some weird glitch with my installation or even my PC 
that is stopping them from working.
