problems with agentd

[1earthling]

Agentd won't start.

The server starts up fine, however agentd won't. It shows up in the process list however nothing in its log file.

Here's my config and output of strace which i don't really understand. Can anyone tell me what's wrong??

[server]
Server=1
StartSuckers=6
StartTrappers=5
ListenPort=10051
HousekeepingFrequency=1
SenderFrequency=30
DebugLevel=4
Timeout=5
PidFile=/var/tmp/zabbix_server.pid
LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_server.log
AlertScriptsPath=/home/zabbix/bin/
DBUser=root

[agentd]
Server=127.0.0.1
Hostname=127.0.0.1
ListenPort=10050
StartAgents=5
DebugLevel=4
PidFile=/var/tmp/zabbix_agentd.pid
LogFile=/tmp/zabbix_agentd.log
Timeout=3
