I copied that from Josep Bigorra Gnus bbdb setup

;; BBDB: Address list von Josep Bigorra
(add-to-list 'load-path "/gnu/store/")

(bbdb-initialize 'message 'gnus 'sendmail)
(add-hook 'gnus-startup-hook 'bbdb-insinuate-gnus)
(setq bbdb/mail-auto-create-p t
       bbdb/news-auto-create-p t)

;; auto-complete emacs address using bbdb UI
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
           '(lambda ()
              (flyspell-mode t)
              (local-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'bbdb-complete-name)))

but it does not work

Sadly I don't have enough time today to try to debug your
setup, but in my setup I have these lines:

(setq bbdb-complete-mail t)
(setq bbdb-message-all-addresses t)
(setq bbdb-completion-list t)
(setq bbdb-complete-mail-allow-cycling t)
(setq bbdb-completion-display-record nil)

I can't guarantee that this will work but it might.  If this
fails, let me know what sort of error messages you are
getting.

I would send you my whole gnus and bbdb setup, but they are
very long and complex and much applies only to me.
