converting sflow into netflow using sflowtool does not work

I am trying to convert the sFlow datagrams into NetFlow and have a little
problem. The agent is an HP ProCurve switch, the agent is enabled,
configured and the datagrams are arriving at the collector (a linux box). On
the collector (linux box) I do this:

#./sflowtool -c localhost -d 2055

I want that the sFlow traffic to be converted and forwarded to the same
machine (localhost) to port 2055. Using tcpdump I can confirm that there is
nothing converted/sent to my 2055 port. I can see that all the sFlow traffic
arrives successfully from the agent and so far I can isolate this problem at
the sflowtool processing phase. Is this a limitation of sflowtool aka I have
to use a separate machine for collecting than the one which does the
forwarding?

Any input would be greately appreciated, thanks!

James
