[avahi] Can;t get avahi to announce anything

I went back and tried 0.6.10, 0.6.5, and 0.6 and saw the same thing with 
all of them.  So far I haven't had much luck with 0.5 since that was 
before it went into the FreeBSD port system and its looking for some 
older libs and such that I don't have installed.  Is there anything I 
can look at/debug that would help pinpoint where the problem is?

Thanks.
