Add the following lines close to the top of your eventhandler script;
[ -d /tmp/events ] || mkdir /tmp/events
echo "$@" > /tmp/events/${0##/*}.$$
exec 1>& /tmp/events/${0##/*}.$$
exec 2>& /tmp/events/${0##/*}.$$

Then rip the paper tray and watch the eventhandler execute. 
/tmp/events/* will be logfiles with complete output of every argument 
passed and every action taken (be aware that stderr usually isn't 
buffered, while stdout normally is, so output may come in whacky order 
if things go amiss a whole lot).
