I haven't played with XAV (other than using it as a basis to write my own custom processing routine), but as I understand it, XAV requires command line parameters (those things which would be specified in the filter.tab used to call it). If those aren't present, the exe simply exits. You would want to look at the source code (if it's available for download) to verify this before accepting my explanation, but that seems the most likely thing.
To properly test it, you would need to have a message file (such as would be processed by a filter), then use the XAV command passing the various required parameters on the command line - or simply hook it up in the filters and test it against a simple test account that is never used for anything else.
