I also run on headless machine.  To ease troubleshooting, I capture the
console output as it contains all relevant messages.  I am personally using
DJB's daemontools as it automatically creates rotating log files, but there
are many solutions, including just using a standard redirect "mh >& mh.log".
 Within another terminal session I usually "tail -f mh.log".

Now, to debug this problem, I suggest adding swears to
mh/code/common/news_ap_breaking.pl.  Useful places would be within the "if
(done_now $p_ap_news) {" block as this is what's run once mh believes that
it has downloaded the rss file.
