The feed motor light comes on but the auger doesn't turn. Are there any sensors that could be preventing the auger from turning?

Yes you have a vacuum switch that will stop the auger from turning. See page 35 in your manual for the wiring diagram......
Make sure your combustion blower is running and the flue is clean

Please read my last post if you haven't already, testing the air volume switch.
EDIT: If you do not have a test light or a digital voltmeter, unplug the two wires to the air volume switch, use a short piece of wire to make a connection between these two wires to see if the auger will run. CAUTION, do this only for a test, do not leave this jumper wire in place to run the boiler unattended.
