There will be lots of output. I'm pretty sure that NSCA logs to syslog's 'daemon' facility using the 'debug','err', and 'info' priorities. Find out what file those are being logged to in /etc/syslog.conf. You're not going to get much traction on this issue until you can see that NSCA output. You could also try grepping your log files for 'Listening for connections' to find where it's going (if it it's currently being logged by syslog).
