Problem with barnyard 0.2.0 and snort 2.4.0

It seems I have a problem with barnyard 0.2.0 and snort 2.4.0 on OpenBSD
3.6. I have configured snort to write a unified log to
/var/snort/log/snort.log with the following....

output log_unified: snort.log, limit 128

files are being written, as witnessed by the following....

 $ ls -l /var/snort/log
 [...]
 -rw-r--r--  1 root    _snort    5967 Aug 19 19:58 snort-unified.log.1124485688
 -rw-r--r--  1 root    _snort    9150 Aug 19 20:29 snort-unified.log.1124499689
 -rw-r--r--  1 root    _snort   46069 Aug 19 23:45 snort-unified.log.1124510258
 -rw-r--r--  1 root    _snort   18878 Aug 20 00:27 snort-unified.log.1124513157
 [...]

I'm starting snort in the following manner...

 # /var/snort/bin/snort -c /var/snort/etc/snort.conf \
   -l /var/snort/log -F /var/snort/etc/snort.pcap -D

So everything is working there fine. Signatures are triggered on.

My barnyard.conf is as follows...

 config localtime
 config hostname: gw1
 config interface: bridge0
 config filter: not port 22
 output log_acid_db: mysql, database snort, server 10.19.81.137, 
  user foo, password bar, detail full    [wrapped for clarity]

Next I start barnyard in the following manner...

 # /var/snort/bin/barnyard -c /var/snort/etc/barnyard.conf \
    -s /var/snort/etc/sid-msg.map -g /var/snort/etc/gen-msg.map \
    -p /var/snort/etc/classification.config -d /var/snort/log \
    -f snort.log -w /var/snort/log/snort_ids.log

which yields the following....

When I run barnyard, all I see is...

Skipped 0 old records
Waiting for new spool file

No sockets are opened to the database, and nothing ever changes when an
alert is triggered, no action takes place. I have another machine that I run
it on and get this...

sensor_id == 2
SensorID: 2
Next CID: 74
Waiting for new data

...when starting barnyard.

Is there a better way to debug this to see what I'm doing wrong? My database
user/password is correct (I've tried it from the command line).

Thanks.
