Does the cli 'sensors' program work?  A quick web search turns up 
situations where either kernel or sensor drivers aren't 
loaded/configured.  I also see a patch for option processing from 2012, 
but I doubt that is your issue.  Even though you ran sensors-detect, you 
may still have to dump some stuff into modprobe.conf to get the drivers 
to load on boot, at least that is how it "used to be."  I haven't used 
it in quite a while.
