I think to you need to make your 'script' executable (guru's correct me if I'm wrong)
From a root console (indented for visibility and # for the root console):
#chown root /etc/init.d/startwvdial
Probably not needed, but won't hurt, and then:
#chmod 755 /etc/init.d/startwvdial
'man chmod' and 'man chown' if you need further information about what you're doing.
