If it's any help, I've got this working fine. The equivalent part of my
script is
daemon fetchmail -d 500 --fetchmailrc /etc/fetchmailrc

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure whether $HOME is set to /root at
this point of the boot sequence. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.

Maybe explicitly stating the path to the fetchmailrc would be a good idea.

Hope this helps,

James.
