Well I found why gconf-sanity-check-2 was exiting with errors right at the beginning, GConf by default wants to look at /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system which isn't there in my build (following the BCLFS wiki), removed that line in /etc/gnome/gconf/2/path and now I get the errors above and still the failed to connect to configuration server.
