Had same issue with SuSE SLES10 = thanks to some of the folks here learned
about option in the runclient.sh script  - the Linux clients only send
short name and needed FQN on server side.  Solution is to completely kill
off client processes completely, then restart with the
--hostname="whatevr.host is"  (check the script for proper syntax - don't
have it handy here at home)
It is better to use the CLIENT option in the bb-hosts file for this.  
Otherwise you can not upgrade the client by simple copying the new files.
