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.. :)
