That should only happen if the RPM OS is detected has SuSE, otherwise
the broker is daemonised using "daemon". I was unable to reproduce the
error using this AMI:

# cat /etc/image-id
image_name="amzn-ami-pv"
image_version="2013.09"
image_arch="i386"
image_file="amzn-ami-pv-2013.09.0.i386.ext4"
image_stamp="a0b9-e027"
image_date="20130925011250"
recipe_name="amzn ami"
recipe_id="55ae74f2-622a-de5d-2288-c450-6402-3ea3-a8b3b196"

Can you please confirm exactly which image you are using?
