Hi Barry, 

the AR queue is managed by process *ossec-remoted*. Please confirm that 
it's up with:

/var/ossec/bin/ossec-control status


And take a look for the ossec.log file:

grep ossec-remoted /var/ossec/logs/ossec.log | tail -n 20


The *ossec-remoted* process dies if file */var/ossec/etc/client.keys* is 
empty. Please check that you have registered one agent at less.

Hope it help.

Best regards.
