 Here is another way to create the pidfile (or any file, for that matter):

 int create(char *path)
 {
      int fd;

      if((fd=open(path, CREATE|EXCL|WRONLY, READ|WRITE)) == -1)
      {
           return(0);
      }
      close(fd);
      return(1);
 }

 Note that create() returns a 1 on success and a 0 on failure.
