mavros not connected

[ghost]

SITL sim and Gazebo up and running and seem to be working okay, but mavros does not seem to be connected properly (i.e., no ROS messages being published and quick debugging indicates it is not getting anything on the port). I am getting the "bind port 5762 for 2, serial port 2 on TCP port 5762, etc." messages as expected.

Console output excerpt from roslaunch terminal if that helps:
