I did a clean build and install from the the external/ruby-lorcon directory.

it just isn't reporting any errors when I run the script. A script
doing the same thing (deauth attack) written in python is definitely
working through madwifi and lorcon.

Just a thought, I've got lorcon installed in /usr/lib rather than
/usr/local/lib. There were no complaints when I did the build but
could this affect it?
