As you noted, the "0 31" argument means it has read the config correctly. Is it possible that on this host the pool is relatively empty so the other 7 children finish quickly? The first one (with -m) does some extra work, so it usually takes longer. Look in the LOG file - there should be an entry for each child starting and finishing.
