Try turning off encryption entirely for now; until there's data flowing,
there's no point in making it harder to figure out what's going on.

send_nsca doesn't support debug in its config file AFAIK.

No, that should say 1 data packet(s).

Can you turn off encryption, and ktrace both nsca and send_nsca at the same
time?
