Have you checked to see if any other capture programs work (tcpdump,
tshark, etc.)? That could perhaps narrow it down to "something funky in
general"  vs. "something wrong with dsniff".

If none of these work, I'd suggest verifying that packet capture
is compiled in to the kernel you're using on the gentoo host or some
similar thing.
