I had a look at the file /home/will/.fluxbox/bsetbg and it contained the following:

### xsri
FULL="xsri --scale-width=100 --scale-width=100"
TILE="xsri --tile"
CENTER="xsri --center-x --center-y"
DEFAULT="xsri --center-x --center-y"

### display
# FULL="display -geometry 800x600 -window root"
# TILE="display -window root"
# CENTER="display -backdrop -window root"
# DEFAULT="display -backdrop -window root"

### xsetbg (xli)
# FULL="xsetbg -fillscreen"
# TILE="xsetbg"
# CENTER="xsetbg -center"
# DEFAULT="xsetbg -center"

I commented the xsri lines out and uncommented the xsetbg lines and edited 
-fillscreen to -fullscreen and after installing xsetbg ( apt-get install 
xloadimage ) the bsetbg command worked.  the file looked like this after I had 
finished:

### xsri
#FULL="xsri --scale-width=100 --scale-width=100"
#TILE="xsri --tile"
#CENTER="xsri --center-x --center-y"
#DEFAULT="xsri --center-x --center-y"

### display
# FULL="display -geometry 800x600 -window root"
# TILE="display -window root"
# CENTER="display -backdrop -window root"
# DEFAULT="display -backdrop -window root"

### xsetbg (xli)
FULL="xsetbg -fullscreen"
TILE="xsetbg"
CENTER="xsetbg -center"
DEFAULT="xsetbg -center"

thanks for the help.

Will.
