Ok, I can reproduce the issue with a full purge and reinstall. The enable part is good on install - the service is enabled and not just dropped on disk as a file. But the follow on start is what fails - which also explains why it worked after a reboot without further modification. That is enough for me to reiterate until I have a fix.
