I usually see this from people using Windows XP x64.
x64 emulates 32bit apps and keeps the 32 bit dll's in the windows/SysWOW64 folder. PB looks in the windows/system32 therefore finding 64bit versions of files.
I used to get kicked for opengl32.dll a while back because PB looked at the 64 bit version of the file.
I did this for the DeZ server and it worked fine.
If your server is in TX ask your provider if they use the Cortex gamepanel. It gives full access to the PB folder.
Enabled medals or added custom ones?
You can't add your own but g_awards 1 will turn them on and g_awards 2 will show the good and bad medals (I think)
There is a Latest 10 Bans block on the front page also in the MBI located Here there is now a "Latest Bans" option that will display the latest 20 bans.
I found this:
I used the Battlefield 2_code to re-enter my cd-key since i reformated windows and was too lazy to reinstall the game lol and I get the same error. Seems the patch encrypts the key but their Battlefield 2_code doesn't encrypt the code.
Others seem to be having this issue as well.

Their servers are getting hit hard so good luck.
This is becoming a problem with the ranked server system. As a ranked server admin you are not allowed access to the files on the server therefore you can not setup streaming or use a ban list of your choice. I think the GSP itself may be allowed to add a ban list but again the person who rents the server is not allowed access to the files.
My point is if BF2 servers were like other servers in that the server admin could have setup streaming and there may have been a chance that the person who used a cheat with your key would have been streamed into a rep of a anti-cheat site and it would have made it a lot easier to find out who.
I was never in favor of ranked servers since the policy of no file access means no ban lists and more cheaters slip through the cracks.
This may have changed sicne the last time I read it on BF2 newslist but I don't think it has.
From what I understand if ServerA requests a screenshot from someone but then the player connects to ServerB before the screenshot is sent to ServerA then the screenshot gets sent to ServerB instead and it will contain text info of ServerA such as server name, etc.
Want you be sure your server is streaming? Be sure to check out the MSI.
MSI
You must have streaming game admin status or higher on our forums to get access
Also will there be a way to run it without GUI for linux? My linux servers don't run a GUI interface and if this is to replace PBWEB I need a tool that works with command line too.

If you look at the screenshot he posted proving people were exploiting the stat system you notice he himself is using a model hack.
Just wanted to post a link to the retail server versions of Battlefield 2
Unranked Linux Server 1.03 (1.1.2551.0)
Unranked Windows Server 1.03 (1.1.2551.0)
You could use one for another game as pb commands are the same accross all pb enabled games for the most part.
We will have a sample pbsv.cfg for members with game admin status in the next few hours.
