Hi Dimitris,
Make sure whether your moses is compiled correctly (no errors during bjam). If 
so, make sure your binaries are running without segmentation fault, if so, make 
sure your paths are absolute and valid.
There is 90% likelihood that problems gonna be solved after these checks.

Cheers, Tomas
