Your add-ons are started within the add-on server, and therefore they 
share the same standard input/output channels.
IIRC PRINT will just dump to stdout - which might not help you, also 
you need to compile your add-ons with DEBUG=1 to see any output. There 
are two things you could do to make your system more vocal, though:
1) use SERIAL_PRINT() for debug output instead (or _sPrintf() directly, 
as defined in os/support/Debug.h)
2) replace /dev/null with /dev/dprintf for redirecting output in the 
Bootscript

HTH,
