I don't know what a Bsus chord is...do you mean Bsus2 or sus4? Anway, I think it's just a Bminor.

Good job with the transcription. This song blew me away when I first heard it. I wish they would make more songs that sound trippy.
 
I haven't checked that song but I know that Fsus/B is totally wrong...maybe you meant F#sus/B?
 
I know there's a G/B chord in the somewhere.
