Well, I have finally found the reason...

The Quest BB Client 3.01 provides a useful "Start Monitoring After" 
feature. When set to something different of 0, every change made with 
the bbntcfg.exe control panel isn't taken into account.
If I don't use the "Start Monitoring After" feature, everything is 
working fine.

Let's open a trouble ticket at Quest Software...
