Are you using run_tests.sh from CVS or your own script?
The kinds of troubles you describe can be caused by (1) wrong BOOST_ROOT, (2) failing to cd $boost_root/status before running the tests, (3) wrong arguments to the actual programs.

That looks very suspicious and is almost certainly wrong. What I would expect is BOOST_ROOT set to:
/scratch8/buildman/builds/linux-boost-1.30.2
or possibly (if you have copied the tree to 0.2):
/scratch8/buildman/builds/linux-boost-1.30.2/0.2
Which of those directories has c++boost.gif, LICENSE, and README? Those live in the root directory, so can be checked for to verify you have BOOST_ROOT set correctly.
