in /usr/local/libexec/setiathome.bin, could you replace the following line :

${program_path} ${program_args} > /dev/null &

in setistart() by :

${program_path} ${program_args} > ${dir}/log.sah 2>&1 &

then restart setiathome using :

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/setiathome.sh restart

and see if there is any output in /var/db/setiathome/log.sah ?
