Memcached Daemon Startup Issues

I installed memcached and since it doesn't have a config file I entered the
flags into rc.conf, but when I start it with the rc.d scripts, it always
runs as nobody, instead of the user I specified with -u <user>. The man page
says "only when run as root". This confuses me somewhat because i'm
executing the rc.d script as root, yet it still starts as nobody. I can
manually start memcached with "memcached -u memcached -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211
-m 32 -P /var/run/memcached/memcached.pid". 

/etc/rc.conf bit:
memcached_enable="YES"
memcached_flags='-u memcached -d -l 127.0.0.1 -m 32 -P
/var/run/memcached.pid -p 1121'

Any ideas?
