You can't pass options to the init script like that.
The best thing to do when debugging that kind of problem is to have a look at
the content of /etc/init.d/fetchmail, find the actual fetchmail command started
by the script and run the command manually from the shell.
Don't forget to remove the option to run fetchmail as a daemon (I don't
remember its name but it's in the man page). You can add any option you need
such as -vv and see the output in the terminal.
When you have seen what you wanted to see, abort fetchmail with ctrl+c and
restart it with the init script to resume normal operation.
