I just did a "notifyme" to cirrus and saw that it seems to be running fine and receiving HDS and other data. Please do this: "notifyme -vl - -h cirrus.al.noaa.gov" and send us the output. At the very least you should get a few lines back that say something. Note that you're not specifying a feed type. Also, please send your ldmd.conf file.
