I had the same problem. The (same) script worked in Intrepid, too. The behavior
of /etc/rc.local must have changed in Jaunty.
My solution is to use start-stop-daemon:
start-stop-daemon --start --name acerfand --startas
/usr/local/bin/acerfand --background
I don't know if it is important, but I removed the & in the last line of the
script ("govern" without "&").
Now the script detaches correctly from the tty:
$ ps -Af | grep 'UID\|acerfand'
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
root 3105 1 0 10:18 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/acerfand

since an upgrade to jaunty the rc.local is not loaded at startup
