Hiya Lee,
I expect it's a problem with the script and your flavour of operating system.
The command chkconfig uses some info in the comments section of 
the /etc/init.d/yourscriptname.

For example here are two leading distro's way of doing it:

Here's my apache2 chkconfig bit on Suse 10:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:                     apache2 httpd2
# Required-Start:               $local_fs $remote_fs $network
# X-UnitedLinux-Should-Start:   $named $time postgresql sendmail mysql 
ypclient dhcp radiusd
# Required-Stop:                $local_fs $remote_fs $network
# X-UnitedLinux-Should-Stop:
# Default-Start:                3 5
# Default-Stop:                 0 1 2 6
# Short-Description:            Apache2 httpd
# Description:                  Start the httpd daemon Apache 2
### END INIT INFO

and here's the same apache2 chkconfig bit on Mandriva 2006:

# Startup script for the Apache Web Server
#
# chkconfig: 345 92 8
# description: Apache is a World Wide Web server.  It is used to serve \
#              HTML files and CGI.
# processname: httpd
# pidfile: /var/run/httpd.pid

So it look likes it depends on your distribution as to how your chkconfig 
behaves.

Hope this helps you modify your script accordingly.

Unless of course you are using some other entirely different distribution who 
have made yet another flavour of chkconfig.
