I use GMT quite a bit on Debian, but I used the install script from
gmt.soest.hawaii.edu
I had to edit .bashrc to get it to work, as follows:

#gmt variables
export NETCDFHOME="/usr/local/src/netcdf-3.4"
export GMTHOME="/usr/local/src/GMT3.3.6"
export PATH="$PATH:$GMTHOME/bin"

Your directories may be different, depending on where it is installed.
You mentioned the following:
psbasemap -JM5 -R0.5/2.0/58.9/59.8 -B0.25 -P -K > station.ps

Is this the first line of your script, or the only line? If it is the
only line, then drop the -K.

I don't know about the Debian version, but the full GMT has example
scripts. Have you tried running those?
Hope that answers your question. You might want to check the mail
archives from the GMT homepage.
