I've added a line "echo Hostname at boottime: `hostname`" to 
/sbin/init.d/bb-client script to see what the hostname is at the time the 
bb-client script was called. at the reboot the output showed the hostname 
correct, however as it was not the fully quallified name, I thought I had 
found it. when running the startup script again (manually) it still showed 
the hostname only, however the external scripts were started correctly.
In short, the hostname does not seem to be the cause. If I read runbb.sh 
correctly, it should not matter.

Any additional ideas on what might be the cause?

Greetings,
