I don't really know if this is the issue you're running, but maybe it
its. Check this out:

I had some problems adding the -F to varnishncsa daemon and it worked.
Attaching the "bash -c" before the start-stop-daemon did the trick.
Maybe the init script is ignoring your parameters for the same reason.
