Debian init.d script won't start service

[Tim Gavin]

I just had to move my DHCP server from a dying UPS.  When I started the 
server back up, the service didn't come up.  I restarted the server 
after a couple of failures to bring it up with /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server 
start (and restart).

ps aux didn't show any DHCP processes.

My attempts to restart the service didn't kick the log either.  No 
failure messages from anything.  I was able to start the service manually:

sudo /usr/sbin/dhcpd3 -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf -lf 
/var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases


But I never could figure out why the init script won't work :-/

Can anyone look at this and tell me what's wrong with it?:
