   I think the SETUP.sh sets up your environment, including creating the mbse   
   user and then you log in as mbse and then build the BBS.   
      
   I guess you surprised the script by having an mbse user already in place. :)   
   I would delete that user and let the script create it again. It is going to   
   place a few files in the mbse user directory.   
      
   Hope all is well out your way.. :)
