I tried running the command directly and here is what it outputs:
TUNGETIFF ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor
TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor
char device redirected to /dev/pts/1

I checked both the image file and the .monitor file and both are there 
and readable so I don't understand what file it is complaining about.
