This all looks good, as long as you're running it on gonzo.netlogic.net.

This is bad. Change it to /var/bbackupd and create that directory, 
otherwise you'll store the working files in /usr/local.

How are you starting the bbstored server? If it's not as root, then you 
need to omit the User = _bbstored line from the config file, and make 
sure that /var/run/bbstored.pid can be written by that user.

Do a netstat -a -n, is anything listening on port 2201?
