Figured it out ... Sort of.
SoapUI says it's executing the tcpmon script with the command sh -c ./tcpmon.sh. Out of the zip file, the script is not executable. When run as sh ./tcpmon.sh this wouldn't matter.

There's some other configuration nuances - perhaps due to the fact that my endpoint server is using SSL. So, I gave up on tcpmon and used Charles instead.
Now it works the way I want it to! Charles is awesome!
