Did you env-update?

I set LANG and a few other things in /etc/env.d/02locale
Here's a quick init script called test
#!/sbin/runscript
start() {
set | grep LANG
}
Now, lets see what it does
uberpc init.d # ./test start
* Starting service test
LANG=en_GB.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_GB.utf8
set | grep LANG
* Service test started OK

So we're not ignoring it. Maybe the process itself doesn't use LANG ?
