I presume someone already got back to you, but you probably also need
a

  (require 'bbdb)

before the initialize statement in your .emacs.  Bbdb doesn't appear
to do this automagically (it's commented out in the
/etc/emacs20/site-start.d/50bbdb-init.el file), and that's good thing
because it makes it possible for people to choose whether or not they
want bbdb, and it also makes it much easier for users to install/use
local versions.

Hope this helps.
