I don't know if this helps or not, but the end of your line to launch
the start-stop-daemon is different from mine, and looks malformed to
begin with (i.e. the "log_end_msg 1echo" part). Here's what mine looks
like... maybe that will help:

<from="/etc/rc2.d/S30gdm" @ "BEC-LIN">

        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --pidfile $PIDFILE --name
gdm $SSD_ARG -- $CONFIG_FILE >/dev/null 2>&1 || log_end_msg 1
        $log_end_msg 0

</from>
