NSCA daemon never writes to nagios.cmd or nsca.dump

[Noah Leaman]

Help!

I cannot get the NSCA daemon to write anything to either the nagios.cmd 
or the nsca.dump files.
They are both defined in the nsca.cfg like so:

command_file=/Users/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
alternate_dump_file=/Users/nagios/var/rw/nsca.dump

I turned on debug (debug=1) and all I get in the syslog is this:

Jan 21 01:19:00 bell nsca[15791]: Handling the connection...
Jan 21 01:19:00 bell nsca[15791]: End of connection...
Jan 21 01:20:00 bell nsca[15791]: Handling the connection...
Jan 21 01:20:00 bell nsca[15791]: End of connection...
Jan 21 01:21:00 bell nsca[15791]: Handling the connection...
Jan 21 01:21:00 bell nsca[15791]: End of connection...

this is for each time the send_nsca is submitted on the remote 
(distributed) nagios host. nothing ever gets written to nagios.cmd and 
nsca.dump is never even created. The fact that nsca.dump never gets 
created seems like a clue of some sort. I do have external commands 
enabled and they work in all other respect. the nsca daemon is running 
as the user nagios and can write to nagios.cmd and the directory itt's 
in.

Any ideas what could be wrong?
