Hi Nathan,

my tip would be file permissions or paths mangled. Does your service script run as the same user as when you try starting in a normal shell? Check permissions on the spool dir, perhaps make it world-writeable and retry as a first test, if that works you can narrow problems down.

Just my 2 cents
