Does it work if you run it manually?
does it start if you run
/etc/rc.d/localpkg start
not certain this will help but try adding
verbose_loading="YES"
to /boot/loader.conf
to see if that give more info on startup.
Also try adding  set -x to your script to enable more debugging output
is you think you need it
