Are any of your object creations throwing exceptions? I had an issue like this a /while/ ago where exceptions were being thrown by the object constructors, but JSON.NET was swallowing them silently.
If you're not sure if you're getting exceptions, try running mono --trace=E:all your_app.exe to trace exception throws throughout the runtime of the process.

Hope this helps,
