I had the exact same problem. It seems that the rc.atalk file included in
the distribution has a screwed up placement of one of the brackets. I didn't
actually catch the problem but on of the system guys here saw the error &
fixed the bracket. Everything worked after that. I hope that someone can fix
that because it actually caused me a great deal of grief for quite a while.
Look for the error shortly after the failed nbp_rgstr message.
