umask 7000 invalid with upstart (!)?

[Garrett Cooper]

Hi,
    Really basic question. If I do something like the following:

    initctl emit multiple=1 events=2 are=3 fine=4 too=5

    This should result in the event chain:

    multiple=1 and events=2 and are=3 and fine=4 and too=5

    correct? I ask because when I try and do the following, it fails:

[nova-cavium17:~]$ cat /etc/init/jobs.d/emit_blah
emits multiple events are fine too
exec initctl emit multiple=1 events=2 are=3 fine=4 too=5
[nova-cavium17:~]$ cat /etc/init/jobs.d/emit_ooh
start on multiple=1 and events=2 and are=3 and fine=4 and too=5
[nova-cavium17:~]$ start emit_blah
[nova-cavium17:~]$ status emit_ooh
emit_ooh not running

    Is this expected to work or am I missing some subtle note somewhere..?
Thanks,
-Garrett
