One big difference between when you run a script from the console and
when it runs at boot time is your environment.  Check your script and
make sure that the commands it references (especially sshd or ssh2d) 
are referenced by their full pathname.  Chances are that the script 
runs fine in the console because of how your $PATH is set.  I suspect 
that the script reports a success at startup, even though start up 
actually failed, because of insufficient error handling.
