Did that; I suspect I am really, truly, don't have a Scratchbox account,
and that something more is involved than just having an entry in /etc/group:

hendrik at lovesong:~$ cat /etc/group | grep sbox
sbox:x:1001:hendrik
hendrik at lovesong:~$ sb-conf rs mistral-armel /scratchbox/packages/mistral-armel-rootstrap.tgz
ERROR: You don't have a Scratchbox user account!
hendrik at lovesong:~$ cat /scratchbox/etc/group | grep sbox
sbox:x:1001:hendrik
hendrik at lovesong:~$ 


-- hendrik
