Jeff,

Since you have confirmed that the scripts in question are
linked properly, in the correct directory for run level 3,
executable and working... this is my best guess: the system
is not getting to run level 3. The other services you list
above also start in other run levels. Have you checked the
output of "who -r" or the "runlevel" command? Perhaps check
the initdefault level in /etc/inittab.
