I'm having the same problem with a 013-pre something machine.  First
noticed it after I built a vserver kernel.  I fix it using a livecd,
chroot to my root and SymlinkProgram BootScripts.  Everything does
look fine.  One thing I noticed, "shutdown -r now" doesn't restart but
"reboot" does.  I've always restarted remotely so I don't see any
error messages.

I've updated to the 013 release BootScripts.  I thought I fubar'ed
something and was about to reinstall.    Guess I'll try to track it
down instead.

Are you using the actual 013 or a prerelease?
