As a guide to where to look next, you should try the following as the
BB user (adjusting the location of BBHOME to suit):

  export BBHOME=/home/bb/bb1.9i-btf
  . etc/bbdef.sh
  echo $BBSERVER
  echo $BBDISPLAY
  echo $BBNET

Each of those echo statements should return "TRUE". If not, BB is
unable to correctly identify that this machine should start the
server processes. In this case, perhaps the simplest thing to do
is to post your bb-hosts file to the list (after obfuscating if
required).

Cheers, Phil.
