That flag doesn't say where to write the PID file. It tells
start-stop-daemon where puppetd *will* write the PID file. You still
have to configure puppetd elsewhere (in puppet.conf, specifically) to
put the PID file there.
Everyone seems to get confused about what the --pidfile option to
start-stop-daemon does. It doesn't create anything at all. It just
says where to find something that the daemon is creating.
