sounds like a good question for this list :)

the output is coming from start-stop-daemon, because that is the first
line printed (/sbin/start-stop-daemon: ...) so I think start-stop-daemon
can't find something.

usually you have to put a "--" between the executable and it's options,
or start-stop-daemon can get confused:

/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --exec /path/to/bin -- --options

that looks more like java output, but you didn't run the command the
same way.  Try running start-stop-daemon from the shell.

you may want to look at the --make-pidfile and --pidfile options to
start-stop-daemon when you've got it working.  This helps you stop the
daemon later.
