U see, no errors! But the bot won't join my channel on efnet! What's the problem?

did you try a .join #channelname on the partyline ?
How did you add the channel to the bot? By adding it to the bot.conf or by adding it with .+chan ?

first off - the output posted, is not the full message. Is this all you see.

On top of this , what is the output of typing "ps x" on the shell.

As for the reply, there is no such things as the ".join" command.

this is what i see:
Eggdrop v1.6.10 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2002 Eggheads

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg khbot hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.

when typing ps x i get this:

PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
30704 p7 Ss 0:00.41 -bash (bash)
31053 p7 S 0:00.13 eggdrop -m
31156 p7 R+ 0:00.01 ps x

what could possibly be wrong?

What I would personally do is start the bot using the arguments -nt. Example ./eggdrop -nt <config file>. This should possibly help determine the reason why your eggdrop is not connecting to efnet properly.

the -nt is the best bet, however, to save a little time, I would advise revising your servers list.

Remember, what you connect to on your machine, may not have the same set of rules for the machine the bot is connecting from.

Not connecting, can also be caused by a total ban from EFnet, against the shell provider you are using (highly unlikely).
