If you're on the latest version (you didn't say), you should set debug=1 in
weewx.conf, restart weewx, and post a longer log extract here so others can
look at the debugging output.
Your tail -f is too short, you want to show from the time weewx starts
through one archive period at least. Perhaps add the -n 200 switch to
your tail command to try to catch more lines if you're not comfortable with
the command line.
