I had the same problem, and determined that I had to move/copy the lua_modules folder from EQEmuServer\quests into EQEmuServer.
lua_modules contains the global lua functions for quests, such as item turn-ins, global NPCs like Soulbinders, etc.
On Windows, but I found out the same thing. I just put a junction (is this symlink in linux?) to EQEMUServer\quests\lua_modules in the base EQEMUServer folder. This saves having to think about copying if anything is updated, too.
