I think that you problems start with this line. It warns you about a 
non-exsistant user, which you are forcing to be used here. In the 
installation docs, for as far as they exsist, note that the interchange 
user must be available befor installation. I suspect your test to die 
because it tries to use an useraccount that doesnt exsist.
Try making the user before running the installation scripts and try again
