Thanks.  The problem is a piece of missing documentation.  When
CVM_PWFILE_PWCMP is not set, it defaults to plain-text passwords.  In
other words, your password file would have worked if it had contained:
	tester:bgware:0:0:::

So, you can either use plain text passwords in that file, or set
CVM_PWFILE_PWCMP="crypt".  I will be amending the documentation
immediately.
