Glad to hear that.

Could you please run 
batmand -c -d 4
after you started the daemon ? This command will make batman start a "client" 
that connects to the running daemon that outputs error messages. Feel free to 
share these messages with us.  :-)

Batman uses threads to parallelize certain tasks (basically 2 threads). Older 
kernel versions / different thread implementations don't offer "real" threads 
but use processes instead. Usually, they create a control process that syncs 
the other "threads" (processes in this case), hence 2 + 1 processes in "ps".
