I'm not sure where the specific error messages are coming from, but
it looks like the client is attempting to send messages using an
empty machine name. For example, the parts like:

    status .cpu green

should look like:

    status host,domain,com.cpu green

if you are using fully qualified domain names, or:

    status host.cpu green

otherwise.

This is a little odd, because BB normally does a good deal of checking
to ensure that the name is valid and correct. You might check that
"uname -n" returns the same host name that you are using for this
host in the bb-hosts file. You might also try using the file
$BBHOME/etc/bbaliasname to force the name of the local machine to be
what you want.

If you are much more interested in getting things working than finding
out what is going wrong (and this may be the most conservative first
step), it may be better to just delete the current install (or move it
out of the way if you want to refer to it later) and start again from
scratch. I'm guessing (and it is a guess) that something may be going
wrong with the "bbconfig" step.

Cheers, Phil.
