If you really have attached your run script, then the problem is obvious -
your script simplifies to:

#!/bin/sh
echo CLEANED.3283
exit

There's some good general advice about debugging run scripts here:

strace will usually help you find the problem quickly:

( cd $SERVICE_DIRECTORY ; strace -f ./run )
