Same problem. Here is how I fixed it for anyone in the future:
It turned out to be a certain "devious" mod from a certain other site that I won't mention here, that competed for the biped 60 slot. I will include everything I did below in case anyone is having trouble, I basically troubleshooted -everything- before figuring it out, which makes me feel silly.
If you want to check if you have an invisible item equipped to slot 60, go in game and do player.showinventory. If you are just starting out, you'll see prisoner clothes/shoes with the suffix - Worn, but in my case there was a third, unlisted item with a code that led me to the conflicting mod. I then did player.removeallitems and from that point on dual sheath worked.
----
Moved Skyrim out of program files directory.
Ran TakeOwnership
Made sure Skyrim folder is writable permissions
Made sure javaw runs as administrator
Tried different versions of java, all 32 bit, all above what he lists as required
Using updated SKSE, alpha 1.7
Using newest FNIS, even though that should only affect animations, I run it every time
Always test on a new save
Try both generating various weapons via console or finding them out in the world
I'm testing with vanilla swords, Dual Sheath comes with the meshes for that by default
Installed both by NMM and manual installation to make sure everything is going where it's supposed to
Dual Sheath is the last patch in my load order
Dual Sheath patches fine, I tried both SUM and the Dual Sheath patcher, I even tried the SUM merge option.
I have used several different XPMS skeletons, including the one recommended AND another one that I know works. The left hand weapon just isn't there, it's not floating at the feet or somewhere else indicating a bad skeleton, it just doesn't appear at all.
I'm not in combat. Requiem doesn't allow armor equipping in combat by default, when I go to sheath while in combat it says "cannot equip armor right now" or something similar. I turn this option off or try it when not in combat, but at least I know dual sheath IS equipping the left hand mesh, or at least trying to. Just nothing appears.
