Let's check.......

Yes, you have to install the battery-box with the switch to the ON position.
The knob controls the 'joystick switch', to start the motor, not the battery
box directly. You couldn't anyway, because the model has two motors, not
one.

I just finished building my 8480 Space Shuttle ($90 from the new Potomac
Mills Lego Outlet Store).  :-)   My question is, isn't the "on/off knob"
supposed to press the buttons on the battery box when it's turned? Or do I
have to take the battery box out, press one of the buttons, etc...


I am doing this from memory, but I think your second idea is correct.  The
battery box is always on and the polarity switches are used to turn the • motor
and the micro motor on and off.
