Try turning on the  VERBOSE mode output for the daemon to get diagnostic
output.
Just set the environment variable when launching your daemon.

Next you may find that a search through the list archives for a conversation
with the subject:
 "Issues while using DBUS over TCP"
 ( Oh hell here's the dam link:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2008-August/010205.html )
to be very helpful on setting up for a dbus system via TCP across a network.
