Rajveer,

> BWMD: Found 0 modules to load

Looks like two errors.  First is that it found no modules to load.  Believe 
you require at least "ip_queue".  Mine looks like this:

	<modules>
		<load name="ip_queue"/>
	</modules>

in the <global> section of your firewall.xml

The second error is that BWM defaults to using /var/bwm_tools directory for 
its logging/data files.  This directory _must_ exist before you start bwmd.  
It can create the flow files as necessary, but cannot create the directory.

Try "mkdir /var/bwm_tools" and it should fix the second error.
