Finally figured it out. I added the --debug-daemon option to the init script and finally got some good error output. Not sure why it's the case; but fping was being more strict about it's options when it wasn't running as the root user. The output showed that fping was complaining abou the -i option being set at less than 10. I bumped up the ping interval to 10msec in the configuration file and this fixed the problem. Not sure if it's a Gentoo specific issue or just something with fping itself.
