Why is the navigation stack not planning a path?

I'm running ROS Kinetic on a Nvidia Jetson TX1. AMCL works fine. However, when I send a navigation goal through rviz, it is published on /move_base_simple/goal, but move_base does not publish anything on /move_base/current_goal or plan a path. There are no errors or warnings. I am using a 2D 270° Hokuyo laser scanner for observation. The navigation stack creates both local and global costmaps successfully, but no path is planned no matter where I place a goal. I don't think this matters, but I'm using tf2 instead of tf. Has anyone had a similar issue and/or know why the navigation stack is not planning a path? My parameter files are below:

what is the output of move_base? what is the status of your goal: rostopic echo /move_base/status ?

sorry, I made an error in my question, which I've fixed. When I send a navigation goal through rviz, it is published on /move_base_simple/goal, but move_base does not publish anything on /move_base/current_goal or plan a path.

the status of the goal has an empty frame_id and status_list is empty.

Did you forget loading the param file base_global_planner_params.yaml which specifies which global planner you would like to use?

Hm, the navigation stack robot setup tutorial doesn't say anything about a base_global_planner_params.yaml file. Is the file necessary? If so, what should I put in it?

See section "2.4 Base Local Planner Configuration" of the tutorial and 2.5. for the launch file.

Adding a base_global_planner_params.yaml file did not fix it.

You did add a rosparam load tag for global planner params file, right? Can you post the output of move_base launch after adding the tag for loading global planner?
