This may reveal the reason for your empty file.

In FBtoC preferences, turn on 'Log UNIX commands'.
Follow the steps previously posted.

In FBtoC log window, observe the genstrings command which will resemble
genstrings -macRoman -s PSltrl -o /Users/rdp/Desktop/build_temp /Users/rdp/Desktop/build_temp/*.c 2>/dev/null

Copy that line except for the '2>/dev/null', and paste it into Terminal.app.
