A few things to note:
You should really try to get all this stuff happening as normal
user, it's much safer. You will not be able to run your plugins as
normal user if they have only root permissions, I checked it by copying
the HC dll as root and trying to run it as normal user. I got the same
error you were getting ("can't load plugin HyperCanvas.dll").
Command completion is your friend. ;)
You can save and load connection maps via qjackctl's patchbay. Check
it out, it's a very cool feature.

Let us know how it goes. I'm not running a 2.6 kernel yet so cannot be
of any assistance there.

You're quite welcome, I hope you get sound in your tests.
Well, I've learned that I need to add some comments re: file permissions
in the VST/VSTi quick toot so I guess it's time to update it again. What
a pain...
Best,
