enabled=true under [general] plus the symlink above

No, currently rygel spills out everything to the console

 - Do you set the level to "debug" or 5?
 - Which plug-ins do you have enabled? 
 - What are the warning messages?
 - which version of gupnp are you using? 
 - are you using your distro's package of gupnp?
 - are you using NetworkManager for your devices or do you configure 
   them another way?

To see if it is running, you need a control-point. There is one in
gupnp-tools (gupnp-av-cp). 

The right place for help is either this list or #gupnp on
irc.gimp.net :)
