Set TDSDUMP as described in the User Guide, and look at the log.  If you see 
an error something like "Could not connect to server SYBASE", your odbc.ini 
and/or freetds.conf is not set up correctly.  

If tsql works, then it's clearly a matter of unixODBC's files (and their 
locations).  Its trace facility may be helpful in that regard.
