I know this is obvious, but are you sure that the conditions that
trigger the TRACE macros are there? If you can try to insert another
TRACE call in the body (outside any if-statements) of the Output
function (and then rebuild bbackupquery), you should be able to ensure
that the TRACE macros are indeed working. Oh, and don't forget to
install the new bbackupquery in /usr/local/bin or wherever... That's
bitten me once or twice.

Alternatively, you can look at the link line for bbackupquery. It should
look something like this:

g++   -o ../../debug/bin/bbackupquery/bbackupquery
../../debug/bin/bbackupquery/autogen_Documentation.o
../../debug/bin/bbackupquery/bbackupquery.o
../../debug/bin/bbackupquery/BackupQueries.o
../../debug/lib/backupclient/backupclient.a
../../debug/lib/server/server.a ../../debug/lib/crypto/crypto.a
../../debug/lib/compress/compress.a ../../debug/lib/common/common.a
-lcrypto -lssl -ldb -lz

Note the ../../debug/lib/compress/compress.a... That should give you the
debug library.

HTH,
