Two problems I see here:
First for auto trackback discovery:
    <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
             xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
             xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/">
     <rdf:Description
      about="http://reagle.org/joseph/blog/technology/python/setting-up-pyblosxom"
      dc:title="Setting Up Pyblosxom"
      dc:identifier="http://reagle.org/joseph/blog/technology/python/setting-up-pyblosxom"
      trackback:ping="http://reagle.org/joseph/trackback/technology_python_setting_up_pyblosxom"
 />
    </rdf:RDF>

The trackback:ping should point to: 
http://reagle.org/joseph/trackback/technology/python/setting-up-pyblosxom
instead of:
http://reagle.org/joseph/trackback/technology_python_setting_up_pyblosxom

Subtle, but a bit different. I'd used $file_path instead of $tb_id for
it.

Second problem, when I tried pinging manually, I saw the actual problem
that caused trackback.cgi to not work for you:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/web/script/reagle/reagle.org/joseph/trackback", line 50, in ?
    from Pyblosxom import tools
ImportError: No module named Pyblosxom

For that, to solve it would be as easy as:
import sys
sys.path.append('/path/to/one/dir/before/Pyblosxom')

That is, if your Pyblosxom dir is in:
/home/foo/libs/Pyblosxom

You'd point to /home/foo/libs

The above URL should really be
http://reagle.org/joseph/trackback/technology/python/setting-up-pyblosxom

^ Heheh, is that sacarsm I'm smelling? :)

Yeah, we did find that it is a problem, and we removed the trackback
flavours into the README of comments.

Yes, the comments and trackbacks (and pingbacks and commentAPI stuff)
will be shown on the same page in the order that they are sent.

BTW, you can look at this site for more info in sending trackbacks
manually: http://roughingit.wari.org/python/tutor/sendingtrackback

Have fun.
