I've had similar problems when I forgot to rename the file I was trying
to osmarender.  

example_debian expects to render a file called data.osm  so I need to
move / rename the file I'm working on in JOSM from CurrentFileName.osm
to data.osm in the osmarender directory.  Then I use inkscape to view
data.svg 

Good luck.
