If 'bbcmd' is the utility used to setup the environment variables, then 
you could simplify your troubleshooting process by using it to launch a 
shell.

Something like:
  bbcmd sh

After that has run, you have an instance of 'sh' running with all of the 
Big Brother environment variables set. This could be confirmed by using 
the command:
   echo $BBSERVERHOSTNAME

 From that shell, you could then hammer out the correct syntax and debug
your specific script (bbtest-net). With that figured out, you can take 
that back and try it directly with 'bbcmd'.
