OK. Attached is a small patch to add a little helpful output if the 
tests fail.

+One or more tests have failed. Common things to check that may cause tests
+to incorrectly fail are:
+
+* Check that no instances of bbstored or bbackupd are already running
+  on this machine.
+* Make sure there isn't a firewall blocking the incoming or outgoing
+  ports that are used by bbstored and bbackupd.
+* Check that there is sufficient space in the filesystem that the tests
+  are being run from.
