I assume no CSV files are generated in /tmp/csv/? Because if everything
works okay, collectd will not output anything. Except debugging is
enabled (see below).

Some things to try:

  * Run `strace' in a second terminal to find out what syscalls collectd
    is using. I usually use:

    $ strace -ttt -s 128 -p <pid of collectd> 
  
  * Run `lsof' to find out what files and sockets collectd did open.
    For example:

    $ lsof -p <pid of collectd>

“nothing” should be the right option for MIPSEL (according to the Debian
MIPSEL build logs).

To actually get the debugging output to work, you have to (re-)configure
with “--enable-debug”. Otherwise, all debugging messages are optimized
away …
