I plugged these files into my test blog and they seem to work.  There 
may be a few things you can look at.
The comment plugin needs to be able to create a directory called 
'comments' in your pyblosxom data directory.  The plugin will be running 
as the uid of the webserver, so you need to make sure that your data 
directory is writable by the webserver uid.  Either that, or create the 
comments directory yourself and make it writable -- the plugin will 
create directories underneath that so you'll need to set the permissions 
accordingly:

chmod g+ws comments

should do the job.  Also be sure that the flavor files are readable by 
the web server.

You should remove trackbacks.cgi from your cgi directory, and you can 
delete any lines in any flavor files that mention trackback.   In any 
event, this should not affect your ability to do comments.

In your story.html, you have

<a href="/joseph/trackback.cgi?__mode=list&amp;tb_id=$tb_id" title="TrackBack">trackback$tb</a>

What is this supposed to do?  If you want to expose your trackback URL to people who are doing 
manual trackbacks, You probably want something like:

    <a href="$base_url/trackback.cgi/$file_path" title="Trackback">TB</a>
