And if it does, check the permissions.

Another thing to try - what happens if you omit the "agentXperms" line?
If the agent is running as a user other than 'nobody', then it's possible
that it won't be able to create and/or use the socket, since you are
specifying an explicit user/group.
  It might work better with the default user/group.
