Strange start-stop-daemon behavior breaking cipe-common's init.d script

["Sulley" <zhrfujv02@sneakemail.com>]

I've installed cipe-common_1.5.4free-1.  The init.d script is supposed
to loop through the peer option files and invoke start-stop-daemon for
each one:

        start_all () {
            for peer in $PEERS
            do
                echo -n "$peer "
                start-stop-daemon --start -v --exec $DAEMON \
                    -- -o "$PEERDIR/$peer"
        	echo $0
            done
        }

However, when I run this it gets to the start-stop-daemon line, fails
silently (the side effect doesn't happen), and stops.  It never gets to
the "echo $0" line.

If I execute the start-stop-daemon line myself on the command line, it
works.

I'm at a loss for how to debug this further.  I'm a Debian newbie, so
any suggestions about a better way of asking for help are also welcome.

Thanks,
