Turns out everything wasn't working properly after all lol. One error seemed to be the Paulscode in the jar file, found answer to this in another thread, removing that seemed to alleviate most of the errors. I'm getting closer to getting this running however the Forestry mod plugin comes up as missing, from ForgeModLoader log:
2012-11-14 14:23:17 [FINER] [ForgeModLoader] Sending event FMLPreInitializationEvent to mod Forestry
2012-11-14 14:23:17 [INFO] [STDERR] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: forestry.plugins.PluginInfo
2012-11-14 14:23:17 [INFO] [STDERR]at cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.RelaunchClassLoader.findClass(RelaunchClassLoader.java:141)
etc, then it continues loading the other plugins and mods just fine. This also pops up later in the log:
2012-11-14 14:23:20 [WARNING] [ForgeModLoader] Could not load forestry config, due to java reflection failing!

I feel as if this is just a missing or misplaced file somewhere, but I don't know. Again, thanks for any help, I really want to get this FTB server up and running because FTB is amazing.
