Guess what, I perform the recommended telnet to 8652 and I get a fine XML return of what it can do. So then what ?

If you can telnet to the port and get metrics in the XML dump, gmond isn't the piece that's configured wrong.
The default configuration that comes in the rpms should be sufficient to get a basic working install.. just tested it on a clean machine and it does what it's supposed to. I would use the default multicast address (239.2.11.71) until you have a working config.
gmetad has a debug mode that will keep it in the foreground so you can see exactly what it's doing, -d 2 will print out a line every time it (tries to) write to a file, so try that and see if the output helps.
