The halpins ini.N.* are only available, after the gui has started.
=> hal net commands using these pins need to be put in a [HAL]POSTGUI_HAL file

This is a known limitation and is documented in the manual page for milltask, http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man1/milltask.1.html

-According to the documentation, this is a core component, and should already be available when interpreting hal / tcl files.
