Did you try to run "c:\program files\zebedee\zebedee.exe -f 
<yourfile.zdb>" in a DOS box and look at the output? Now, I do not 
know if the above will generate any warnings, but anyway, these are my 
2 cents:

(1) not specifying a full path to your log file (or any other file 
like the "checkidfile") will keep the Zebedee service from starting at 
all. Replace it with something like:

   logfile 'c:\zebedee.log'

You also don't state how you try to start the program as a service. 
Could you show us your command line?

(2) Two "redirect" statements are allowed, but when one of them 
contains "none", I wonder if anything will get redirected at all; you 
should remove the "redirect none".

Cheers, Eric
