You have ethname_enabled="YES" and ethname_devices="ue0 ue1"
(or whichever
devices you want renamed) in your rc.conf; their original names, not what
you want them to become?
If you have console access, can you try running it manually? I'll double
check in a bit that the version on github matches what I'm running.
