Not sure if this is relivent to your case but;
1) I am new to Mac OSX so take pity if I say something stupid. 2) We run a Mac OSX server 3) Our Mac OSX server uses Apple's launchd to launch programs. 4) Added a LaunchDaemons .plist restarted launchd and I have been backup up our Mac server from a Solaris 10 host for the last several months and it has been working just fine. I believe launchd is Apple's replacement for xinetd, cron and rc.local files, something like Sun's new service (svc) management.
