Try 'ps auxf|grep fetchmail' to see who's the owner of the job (proberly root or pppd). The logfiles should then proberly complain about 'no mailservers specified', or something like 'fetchmailrc must be owned by you'. I had the same problem until i launched 'fetchmail -d60' while being the correct user. Most of the time the fetchmail-daemon keeps on running, even if there's no connection...
