What happens when you run the script pieces by hand?

Who owns the script? What user name shows up for the daemon? You aren't 
allowed to kill other peoples processes unless you are root.

Are the xmmms2d servers identical? Maybe you need to send a different 
signal to the daemon instead of the default.
