Yes, I realised that after reading the installation notes on the
www.x2systems.com/AlienBBC/ 
It was here that I found the information that those files are no longer
needed.
Googling for help and answer there seemed to be quite a bt of
interaction issues with various versions of Debia/mplayer/AlienBBC

The biggest thing is that I had to learn a lot about Linux commands
over the last few days just getting all of this going.
It was quite a steep learning curve but well worth while as I now feel
a lot more confident about my Debian server.
It works as media server to iTunes laptops around the house
and now slimserver for my squeezebox.

But I can easily see that this is not for the fainthearted.
Googling around I found a lot of the same issues seem to relate to the
Windows based Slimserver as well.

Anyway, I am happy.

Now if I could only work out how I can 
a) make iTunes store it´s XML database on my server instead of my local
laptop and 
b) how to make Slimserver understand the path references in the xml
library of iTunes which, being a windows product, naturally knows
nothing about paths such as /mnt/dev/usbhd1/shared/iTunes/...
