Please check the CertificateFile path in bbstored.conf. Check that you can 
list the file indicated there even when running as _bbstored user. For 
example:

   sudo -u _bbstored ls /etc/box/bbstored/server.name.pem

Actually they are not usually in the "ca" directory, that's for CA files 
and really they should not even be on the bbstored server at all. See 
[http://www.boxbackup.org/trac/wiki/CertificatesAndAccountsManagement]:

"Setting Up the Certificate Authority... It's best to do this on a machine 
other than your server, probably without direct network access. The 
contents of this directory control who can access your backup store 
server."

I've improved the debugging messages in the trunk to show the actual path 
that it was trying to access. If you still can't get it to work, please 
try the latest development version from trunk. See 
[http://www.boxbackup.org/trac/wiki/SourceCodeRepository] for details.

Cheers, Chris.
