You forgot the -S option to run it in statistics mode. I know that this
option is a bit confusing so I have applied a patch to obsolete it.
Thus, you won't need to pass -S to conntrackd anymore in the upcoming
0.9.6 release.

This was removed from SVN. BTW, SVN currently contains a patch to enable
logging via file/syslog for the statistics mode. Still, this requires
evaluation in terms of performance (e.g. very busy firewalls) and some
kind of tool that digest the logging information.
