Just curious: What do you mean by busy response?

Both sides connect as RabobankTest to FixGateway. This does not match. It should look like

Acceptor: <20050804-07:03:16, FIX.4.2:RabobankTest->FixGateway, event>
Initiator: <20050804-08:03:46, FIX.4.2:FixGateway->RabobankTest, event>

If you look at the fix-in.cfg and fix-out.cfg, both contain

SenderCompID=RabobankTest
TargetCompID=FixGateway

In one of the both configs, this should be

SenderCompID=FixGateway
TargetCompID=RabobankTest

Some other remarks:

Why do you use:

ResetOnDisconnect=Y
ResetOnLogout=Y

And you could use the isLoggedOn() method of the session instead of using a _loggedOn 
variable. This variable is not thread-safe, ie the JVM spec does not guarantee that 
another thread sees the actual value of _loggedOn. Please use

  private synchronized boolean getLoggedOn() { return this._loggedOn; }
  private synchronized setLoggedOn( final boolean loggedOn } { this._loggedOn = loggedOn; }

Do you know that you can send message to a FIX session even if it is not logged on? I.e. 
this check is not necessary, except you explitely want that behaviour.

Cheers, Jörg
