Can you send us your config files from hosts A (bbstored.conf) and B 
(bbackupd.conf)?

Also look in the log files on the client machine (B) for any output that 
might explain the lack of backups. Usual location is /var/log/box, if 
syslog is configured as described in 
http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/server.html. Let us know what (if 
anything) you see.

Are you getting backups to run in the other direction (if I understand 
your configuration correctly, both servers are running bbstored)?

Thanks,
Per
