/etc/init.d/postgres-8.4-openscg start problem

LINUX UBUNTU 10.10 new installation
I installed Postgres 8.4.7 using the openscg distribution packages/postgres-8.4.7-1.i386.openscg.deb

The first problem was that the unix_socket_directory assumes '/tmp'
DBD:Pg will not connect on /tmp so I had to change in postgresql.conf

unix_socket_directory = '/var/run/postgresql'

Now DBD:pg connects - (had to adjust Webmin also)

However after changing the socket dir, the /etc/init.d/postgres-8.4-openscg start command says

Starting PostgreSQL 8.4:
waiting for server to start...............................................................could not start server
The PostgreSQL server start seems to have some problems, please see logs for details.

Log shows:

LOG: database system was shut down at 2011-03-21 12:18:24 CDT
LOG: database system is ready to accept connections
LOG: autovacuum launcher started

So all is running OK but the pg_ctl is not aware of this.
I tried passing it the -k "/var/run/postgresql" option but that did not solve the problem

Please indicate a fix - thank you
