Everything looks fine from over here. Does running doorknob with -fs
from the terminal do what you expect? Also, what does 
`s6-svstat PATH_TO_DOORKNOB_SVCDIR' and 
`s6-svstat PATH_TO_DOORKNOB_SVCDIR/log' 
tell you? Also, does the target dir for s6-log have the files "current"
(apparently not), "lock", and "state"? Those final two files are created
by s6-log automatically and should at least indicate that it's starting
up fine.

Cheers!
