I have experience with most of those components but not the BoC. I was using DMXorcist instead. So, I may not be all that helpful but hopefully you will get an answer from some of the other members that use that BoC card.
This is just basics here and you probably have it but do you have a DMX terminator at the end of the DMX chain?
Are you aware that some DMX devices are one address off of VSA thinks they should be? For some stupid reason, with some devices, you have to change the address one down. For example, for my DMX relay, the address on it is 1 but on VSA, had to use address 0. So, if your DMX device isn't working, try lowering the address you gave it on VSA by one. Had to do the same for a fog adapter address (its address is 50 but on VSA it is 49). Chauvet lights, on the other hand, is right on the money: address 32 on the dip switch and address 32 on the VSA program. Go figure!
Is the USB port on your computer powerful enough to drive anything you have plugged into it? Had a weak USB in the front of the computer and it got much better after plugging it in the back. You could also get a powered USB port.
Not sure if you saw this but here's a tut I made that goes A to Z about what I used. Perhaps it may trigger other trouble-shooting thoughts: http://www.halloweenforum.com/blogs/terra/834-integrated-haunt-control-using-dmx-vsa-tutorial.html
