What is this? If rebeluci.exe is wb2uci renamed you are trying to start itself.
The 'Program' option must point to the real engine.

Else could you copy the wb2uci log without any editing, and leave out inbetween.
The Wb2Uci log should show both the communication to the engine (S<>) and to the
gui (C<>) so it should be enough for knowing what are sent where.
This looks like inbetween log, then the above could be right but leave out the
appended W6 and put it in the eng file. The best is to just enable logging in
the eng-file and let the 'Inbetween' rest for now.
