WordPress 2.7 (or anything after 2.5.1 really) does not integrate well for logins with bbPress 0.9.x., although I have heard recently of a couple different ways of getting the two to talk to each other.

Regarding user roles in 0.9.0.4, there is a user role map section to the bbPress admin where you can map the WordPress roles to the bbPress roles.
