Help with barnyard

Fellow snorters,

I'm trying to get barnyard to do _something_.  If I start snort thusly:
(pwd=/usr/local/snort)
snort -c ./snortuo.conf -i xl1

I get [snipped ouput]: 
UnifiedAlertFilename = snort.alert
Opening /var/log/snort/1018 () 1050-snort log
923 Snort rules read...
923 Option Chains linked into 921 Chain Headers
0 Dynamic rules

Rule application order: ->activation->dynamic->alert->pass->log

        --== Initialization Complete ==--

-*> Snort! <*-
Version 1.8.1-RELEASE (Build 74)
By Martin Roesch (roesch () sourcefire com, www.snort.org)

and then run barnyard (again from /usr/local/snort)
barnyard -c ./barnyard.conf -s ./sid-msg.map -g ./gen-msg.map -d
/var/log/snort -f snort.alert

I get:

   --== Initializing Barnyard ==--

No files found?  Even if I add the time stamp to the command above I get
the same thing.  This has got to be a stupid thing I'm missing when
trying to run this.  I mean I personally have stupid to spare, but what
detail have I skipped?
