Ok, so you're still seenig the same start-stop-daemon error :(
what is the output of:
$ls -l `which start-stop-daemon`
here, I see
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18504 Oct 13 06:41 /sbin/start-stop-daemon
dev:~# which start-stop-daemon
/usr/local/sbin/start-stop-daemon
dev:~# dpkg -S `which start-stop-daemon`
dpkg: /usr/local/sbin/start-stop-daemon introuvable.
It's in frensh, it says that the file doesn't exist, strange !! see :
dev:~# ls -l `which start-stop-daemon`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 29991 2006-12-21 23:07
/usr/local/sbin/start-stop-daemon
the file does exist !
dev:~# whereis start-stop-daemon
start-stop-daemon: /sbin/start-stop-daemon /usr/local/sbin/start-stop-daemon
/usr/share/man/man8/start-stop-daemon.8.gz
so, you have somehow managed to have a localized start-stop-daemon
Do things work ok if you remove /usr/local/sbin from your path ?

Ok, these clearly indicate that both --pidfile *and* --exec are
