If there was an error connecting to the database, you should see something like 
the following:

# pfcmd ifoctetshistorymac help 
unable to connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through 
socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) at /usr/local/pf/lib/pf/ifoctetslog.pm 
line 60

So the question really is whether there is anything to find for that MAC in the 
accouting tables.

Run this query in mysql and see if it returns anything: 

mysql> select switch,port,read_time,mac,ifInOctets,ifOutOctets from ifoctetslog 
where mac='00:25:64:40:05:47' order by read_time desc;
