Put the "0/0/9800" last on the command line, after all the hyphenated
options.

Make sure the /flows/mkflows directory exists.

Also, check with tcpdump that the incoming UDP packets are destined for
port 9800.

Check the syslogs for any errors from flow-capture.

Use "lsof -p <pid-of-flow-capture>" to make sure flow-capture is listening
to the right UDP port.

If all else fails, use "strace -p <pid-of-flow-capture>" to trace through
what it's doing or not doing.
