This means that it failed to load the certificates from disc. Note how 
it says:

> library:fopen:No such file or directory

Did you copy the two files from within the ca directory to the 
/etc/box/bbstored directory that bbstored-certs told you to copy to the 
server? This is a manual step, because you are expected to keep the CA 
on a machine which isn't directly connected to the internet.

Look at the bbstored.conf file. Make sure that all the files this 
configuration file mentions do actually exist.

Make sure you follow all the instructions given! It will work if you 
follow them to the letter. The configuration scripts even output 
instructions which are customised to your exact setup.
