Check out the manual for rcorder(8), and look at the CAPITALISED files in
/etc/rc.d. 

Essentially, LOGIN is a dummy service - it is used to control startup 
of services that should start late in the boot process. The jabberd control
script told rcorder(8) that it should run *before* the LOGIN service,
but the MySQL control script tells rcorder(8) that it wants to run
*after* the LOGIN service. So although you had REQUIRE: mysql in jabberd's
script, it was still getting run before MySQL. I guess. ;-)

You can determine what order things get run by doing

 # rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*

Anyway, glad it worked. You might want to get in touch with the jabberd
maintainer and see if he is willing to make the change permanent.
