Everything works, but X10 won't fire alarm

[themediageek]

Noob here. I've setup ZM several times and settled on 1.23.3 on Ubuntu 9.0.4.
I've got two monitors running on two BTTV cards. Monitor 1 is MODECT on a camera and triggers are working nicely. Monitor 2 is NODECT with X10 activation string is 3+2 and alarm string is 3+2. I've enabled external triggers in the options. I've run

Code: Select all

tail -f /tmp/*.log

and gotten this:

I'm not too concerned with nullmailer failing at the moment, but I just can't seem to figure out how to get an X10 motion sensor trigger a recording.
Also, regarding zmtrigger.pl, I can't seem to figure out how to fire that from command line. Are the two related? I enter:

Code: Select all

zmtrigger.pl '"1|on||100|test||'

Repsonse is :

Code: Select all

Can't bind: Address already in use at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Trigger/Connection.pm line 87

So after this mammoth post my question is this: Am I missing something on the X10 side? Is the trigger problem related? Do I need to have the External Trigger Option turned on or off in options?
One last bit of info, I am able to force an alarm from the web interface. Thanks in advance for the help.
EDIT: Sorry that's the tail from syslog, here's the tail from /tmp/*.log:

Debug level is 9 on zmtrigger and zmx10.

After more debugging on the zmx10.pl script, it seems to fire the trigger script then instantly cancel the trigger.
Any thoughts?
Does anyone have x10 motion working?

I just joined this forum. I do not know why. I'm sorry.
