Just open an xterm, and run it - that way you can watch it's progress
and if it's reporting an error. Make sure you've created a viable and
suitable .webcamrc to sit in your ~/home/yournamegoeshere directory.

This is what mine looks like for example:

[grab]
       device = /dev/video0
       text = "KuhnKam %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
       fg_red = 255
       fg_green = 255
       fg_blue = 255
       width = 320
       height = 240
       delay = 60
       wait = 0
       input = camera
       norm = pal
       rotate = 0
       top = 0
       left = 0
       bottom = -1
       right = -1
       quality = 75
       trigger = 0
       once = 0

[ftp]
       host = www
       user = webcam
       pass = xxxxxx
       dir  = /var/www/html/kma
       file = webcam.jpg
       tmp  = uploading.jpg
       passive = 1
       debug = 0
       auto = 0
       local = 1
       ssh = 0
