This script does start it up successfully. Still the initscript doesn't. I 
have tested that all the variables are set to the same things in the 
initscript simply by printing them with echo and they are.

/usr/lib/courier-imap/courier-imapd.indirect doesn't exist btw...

I trying to use version 4.0.1
 # eix courier -I -c
[I] net-libs/courier-authlib (0.58): courier authentication library
[I] net-mail/courier-imap (4.0.1): An IMAP daemon designed specifically for 
maildirs
