CyberCash (like most things in Minivend) may not work for many reasons.
For example, you must be using a secure server to have CyberCash
transactions work.

Have you verified that CyberCash transactions are working at all, using
the test pages provided by CyberCash? CyberCash usually gets installed
into your web server's htdocs directory. First use their test pages to
generate test transactions and debug the installation. Then go to the
CyberCash site (to your admin page, not the signup page) to verify the
transactions. Once you have verified the Cybercash installation, move the
merchant_conf out of the web server dir, into your home directory where
Minivend can access it. You appear to have already moved the CCMck*.cgi
files into minivend/lib. Then set your catalog.cfg to something like:

Variable     CYBER_CONFIGFILE
/home/mydomain/mck-kit/MERCHANT-ID/mck-cgi/conf/merchant_conf

Your other vars look fine:

CyberCash       Yes
CreditCardAuto  No
Variable     CYBER_VERSION       3.2

You can also add the following after you go live for testing checkout.
Transactions will go to error.log rather than to CyberCash:

Variable     CYBER_MODE     minivend_test

And then set you mail program to plain text format messages instead of
HTML format. I had to create a new message plain text and fill in the to:
and subject: manually. I and others are less likely to reply to HTML
formatted messages because it's a pain.
