Snortcenter v1.0-RC1 is substantially out of step with the current Snort 
2.0.x and 2.1.x releases. It will lose parts of certain rules. Although 
it's likely this isn't the cause of your problems, it's something to bear 
in mind.

The good news is that Jason Alexander has forked it to create Snortcenter2 
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/snortcenter2> which aims to be fully 
compatible with more recent versions of snort. If you pull the current CVS, 
it should work with Snort 2.0.6, and nearly work with Snort 2.1 (it'll 
trash one of the current 2.1 rules).

I don't think Jason will mind me saying contributors are welcome.

Try:

       /path/to/snort -T -c /etc/snort/snort.eth0.conf

If that doesn't work, show us the output.
