Curious. Three ideas come to mind:

1) Are you using the -l option to log messages to a file? If so can
   that file be written by the roundup user?

2) Does the pid file exist? If so does it have a pid in it?  Can the
   roundup user create the file specified in the -d argument?  (If
   this is not true, you should see an error.)

3) Is a roundup-server still running? If roundup-server can't bind to
   its port it exits, but with -d the error doesn't make it to the
   user. It will show up in the log file specified with -l.

Also one other thing to note is that roundup-server -d changes to the
root directory (/) as it does its daemonize thing. This has never been
a problem in the past, but could be unexpected and I am not sure what
happens if the cd fails. It should report an error to the user.
