A Bit Baffled

I recently set up a FreeBSD box to turn into an NS server. (If you caught my earlier post asking if a P3 450 MHz was fast enough, this is another, faster computer.)
I have a little script for starting the server called "run," which reads:
<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->./hlds_run -game ns +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -port 27017 +maxplayers 20<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->
... where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is my external IP addess. When I try to start the server, I get this:
<!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->Auto detecting CPU

My network setup is simple: I have one static IP, a firewall/NAT box running OpenBSD, and several computers behind it on the internal network on the 192.168.0.xxx subnet; the NS server is 192.168.0.3.
The firewall is configured to forward all TCP and UDP packets on port 27017 to the NS server.
Any ideas?

The output is exactly the same.

Yes, quite sure. And "ps -ax" reveals no errant processes.
