Can you make sure that the uploaded version is identical to the one here:

http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/

Just pick your version.

If you haven’t gotten through the installation, and you didn’t do anything else yet, maybe you just have a bad copy. Why not check at least this file, or just download the package again and reupload it? That error does not exist in the files that are normally distributed.
