Ugh :(

So, where we're at is that you are definitely receiving the flows, but
flow-capture and flow-receive don't seem to "see them."  Sorry if any of
these questions have already been answered, but the things that come to
mind:

Is flow-capture making "empty" flow files or is it not making anything at
all?

(I think you already have, but...) have you tried flow-receive?

Are you receiving on a port >= 1024, i.e. you're sure this isn't a
privilege problem?

What version of netflow are you exporting from your router?
