setingup a Minecraft MCPC+ 1.7.2 server (Cauldron)

I am trying to setup an cauldron server for my Friends and myself to play on. To date i have only messed with craftbukkit thru MCMyAdmin and am having a rough time getting it setup. I can get it running but when I try to connect it stays on the load screen. one thing i should point out is that i am running BukkitGUI to start it.

currently i am running it locally to just get the actual server running but will port it outside once i get it running, additionally i am running it on my PC until i get it setup right so i can just translate it over to my server-blade.

also i should say that other servers work (bukkit, vanilla)

here is the log when i start it thru the GUI
