The next, and most common cause of avahi-related problems is that the

avahi-browse -rt _pmcd._tcp
That returns nothing. But there may be a disconnection of
understanding here. I am expecting that pmfind will find pmcd on the
local host which should not involve the firewall (or rather the
firewall should not get in the way). If pmfind is only looking
externally, then the QA test is pathologically broken ... it will only
work in an environment where some _other_ host is also avahi-enabled
and accessible via multi-cast udp packets.
No, the test is expecting to find a local pmcd. No external one needed.
I just suggested looking at the firewall in case it does cause a problem
for local lookups on your platform.
