Need help writing upstart confs

[Tim G.]

Hello,
having hard problems writing a simple upstart .conf

Can you help me, why a simple rule like this isn't working? It just hangs.
This is really driving me crazy, not debug possibility, no output, nothing.

# reelbox-ctrld - 
#

description     ""

start on startup

console output
expect fork


script
    /usr/sbin/reelbox-ctrld $DAEMON_ARGS -f
end script


if i say "start reelbox-control" it just hangs and hangs and hangs and 
hangs... until i cancel it with ctrl+c
output is: nothing
even if i say "start -vvv" the is no output. 

after that, the next "start ..." says "Job is already running: 
reelbox-control" (but it is not)
so i have to stop it. but "stop reelbox-control" also hangs.

stace says this:
