Radium not writing netflow records to file

Hey Mike,
Sorry for the delay.  ftp://qosient.com/incoming is a blind repository, if you could drop it off there, I can proceed.
I'll use flow-tools to retransmit the flows on the wire, and try to get ra() to process them.  From there, I should
be able to figure out if its a parsing problem or what.

So, only thing I can think is that we're not processing all the flow records in each packet, or we're dropping
packets.  How fast are they coming in, do you think?
