Please could you try this:

ps auxww | grep bbstored (check that none are running)
cd debug/test/basicserver
../../bin/bbstored/bbstored -DVT testfiles/bbstored.conf

It should run in the foreground, waiting for a connection. And if so, then 
the test should work fine. Can you let me know if it does so?

If it exits for any reason, then the test will not work. In that 
case, please could you paste the output?

Also, please check your system logs for messages from bbstored in either 
case.

Cheers, Chris.
