[users at bb.net] Buildbot failing to start

I ran through the steps in the tutorial (
http://docs.buildbot.net/current/tutorial/firstrun.html)
and was able to get Buildbot running.

However, when I rebuilt the virtualenv on an Ubuntu VM and rsynced up my
custom configuration folder, buildbot appears unable to start.

If I activate my virtualenv and then run `buildbot start master` all I get
is:

    Following twistd.log until startup finished..

    The buildmaster took more than 10 seconds to start, so we were unable to
    confirm that it started correctly. Please 'tail twistd.log' and look
for a
    line that says 'BuildMaster is Running' to verify correct startup.

A twistd.log file is generated, but nothing is ever written to it and `ps
aux|grep -i twist` shows nothing running.

How do I diagnose this problem? How do I run buildbot in non-daemon mode so
I can see whatever error it's running into?
