i believe that's the error, yeah.

no, it just starts from the init script run as user root - the only
changes i made to the init script are as described in my previous
message. but after it starts up, the processes are running under
rabbitmq ownership -

without the change in ownership of the logfiles, it starts
successfully (seemingly) but only a couple of procs are left running
(i don't remember which, sorry - i think just the first one listed
above)
