Shouldn't BSP FullVis (extra) compile a .bsp and save it somewhere? I don't get any .bsp files made when I run it.

Start JK2Radiant,
File,
Project Settings,
There you can choose where the finished maps will be placed (must be in the maps folder!)

If it still doesn't work, start JK2 Multiplayer, open the console and type /devmap yourmapenamehere

I think the problem is that you're supposed to save your map to a certain directory, but I'm not sure what that dir is.

Here's my compile output. Sounds like Radiant is giving sof2map the wrong command line parameters.
