Well, the code is fine. And RabbitMQ should not just claim to accept 
messages that never go anywhere, regardless of config or permissions. So 
a couple of possibilities spring to mind:

1) Is your publisher talking to the broker you think it is? Or are you 
accidentally sending messages to some other broker? (Stop the broker - 
publishing should fail - does it?)

2) Is there an extra consumer running somewhere that is grabbing the 
messages before your consumer does? (Check rabbitmqctl list_consumers / 
mgmt)

If things *still* don't make sense, the tracing plugin will let you see 
what messages are being published / consumed at the broker.

Cheers, Simon
