Hello Mark,
I did not forget about you :-)
It is early Saturday morning here ;-)
When I start owfs without the LinkUSB plugged in I also get no feedback
and there is no daemon started, so I suspect this is the problem - or
one of them:-)

check the syslog, when plugging in the LinkUSB either directly into one
of the two USB ports of the raspi or inta a USB-hub that is connected to
the raspi (that's what I have here).
For that give the command
sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
It will keep the terminal open and print whatever enters the syslog
file, so you don't have to constantly read.
I am connected over ssh to the raspi, so I just open different sessions,
for different commands. I would suggest you also open multiple terminals
and leave e.g. syslog tailing active for now.
So, when I plug in the LinkUSB I get the following syslog entry:

-------------------------------------
Is your output the same?
IF NO, then this is the problem, or one of them :-) in that case try
IF YES:
In the last line it says "... now attached to ttyUSB0" it could say
something else like ttyUSB1 or so. In fact under some circumstances
reconnecting did increase that number - but I am not sure if this was
happening on the raspi.
Now check, that your LinkUSB - that is actually the FTDI USB to serial
chip - is alive and kickin':
sudo cat /dev/ttyUSB0
should come back with many lines:
LinkUSB V1.4
then Ctrl-C the command to stop the connection

If the above all worked then you might start owfs without owfs.conf for now:
owfs -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -m /mnt/1wire --error_level=2 --foreground
the directory /mnt/1wire I created before with my local users privileges
like so (there is no reason to start owfs with sudo):
ls -al /mnt/
....
drwxr-xr-x 2 mnm mnm 4096 Jan 6 13:18 1wire
.....
If you got that far, everything should work now! :-)
