<div>I was using version 9 on the router. Version 9 would error out on flow-capture so I changed the version to 5 on the router  and now I have flows being written.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I did also disable iptables and ip6tables (?) per Craig and Joe. I will test now if those are getting in the way too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Many thanks to all.</div>
