The lack of any log output suggests something very broken.  Can you
switch the "/dev/null" in the startup script to, say,
"/tmp/fetchmaillog" and reboot?  The OS is probably reporting
something that you're never seeing as it's being dropped in the bit
bucket.

The odds are that you're seeing it work on the command line because
your environment isn't the same as the boot environment.  Quite
possibly the settings regarding the library paths.
