I assume you mean that tincd exits right away?

try running: strace tincd -n silmuvpn

and see what the last thing it is doing before exiting is.  Perhaps it is
trying to create /usr/local/var/run/tinc.tdvpns.pid but /usr/local/var/run
doesn't exist.  I believe there's a bug where it silently exits in this
case.
