What do you mean by "ppp0 so it fails" ?

Looking at the wan-failover script, the /mnt/kd/wan-failover.script is called via...
--
$SCRIPTFILE "$SECONDARY_STR" "$EXTIF" "$PRIMARY_GW" "$EXT2IF" "$SECONDARY_GW" "$SECONDARY_GWIPV6"
--

The "$EXTIF" implies your system is setup with the external interface using PPPoE.

If "$EXTIF" = "ppp0" you may want "$PPPOEIF" to use the associated ethernet interface.
