Hi

After upgrade to last snapshot of nfdump I've run into similar 
problem - no profiles are beeing updated except the live profile. 
These are the symptoms that I've found:

- after a new profile creation there is .nfstat file missing inside 
the profiles-data structure in the new profile directory

- web interface shows the profile is created too quickly and the 
reason is there are no nfcapd.200906xxxx files created, I can see 
just nfprofile.22xxx files of size 276 bytes for every timeslot since 
the profile start date

- all statistics in the nfsen web interface show x's

I tried to replace nfprofile binary with the older one from nfdump 
1.5.7 and created a new profile. Everything was fine, nfprofile 
created new profile containing all data except those collected by the 
1.6b version of nfdump of course.
Rebuilding profiles using nfsen -r did not help.

Thanks
Ivan
