try removing the "f"
bsetbg

That's what I have in the init file and it works.
I dont know how directories work so much in
Linux but make sure it can find that file. I made
mine relative to home so mine is like this:
....rootCommand: bsetbg -c ~/stuff/back.jpg

try running the command from a terminal to see what error you get.
It's most likely the bad command that ..umm...Bad Command mentioned.
DSL doesn't have fbsetbg...you'll want to use bsetbg or xsri.
