You can run Apache in single process mode and strace that (provided that 
Apache isn't needed for anything else at the time):

su
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
strace -o outputfile -f apache2 -X

You should see mod_tile (a) trying to open the tile on disk (grep for 
the filename) and if unsuccessful (b) trying to contact renderd (grep 
for the renderd socket name).

Bye
Frederik
