If you are sending traffic to the local machine, it will probably
use the loopback interface, and never actually appear on
the network at all.  I suspect that tcpdump is monitoring
the actual traffic visible on the network, so doesn't see such
loopback traffic.

Are you running a trap receiver on the local box?
If so, how did you start it?
