That's the one :)

That group doesn't exist on my server. Everything else on the site, including
the comments plugin, works as the group "arpa", which is what the guestbook dir
is. Also, I made sure that permissions allow writing to the directory. 

The problem is that it is not displaying the form at all.  So
<p>$pyguest_form</p> is being rendered as <p> </p>. 

Ok, I've sort of figured out the problem.

I wasn't understanding this sentence properly: "The submit form will only be
shown when the index or all links are executed."

I looked at the code and saw that you are checking for a particular kind of
URL. I figured out that something like this works:
http://wjsullivan.net/pyblosxom.cgi/guestbook/index.html.

So, it looks like I'll have it all working shortly. My suggestion is to mention
the trigger url in the step-by-step instructions, to make clearer when one can
expect the $pyguest_form to be rendered.

Thanks for your work!
