Thanks... however during my mucking about got it working again by taking
out the -c opiton for start-stop-daemon.  It was -c daemon.

So I think it might be a permission problem, that the daemon user can't
read a directory it needs fro jabber to run.  

I'll admit that it did work when I installed Jabber, but during the
fiddling with the config file for jabber something broke.
