I don't use external merge, but a few things to check:

  2.51.5 is very old.  The most recent release is 2.53.3.  Please update
  and try again.  I'm not saying it's fixed, if it is a unison issue vs
  your environment but we don't debug old versions.

  are you sure that kdiff3 is the in the PATH of the running unison
  process

  run unison without any batch/repeat/etc. and use ktrace/ktruss/strace
  or whatever your OS calls that to see which system calls and exec are
  called.
