I found that by looking through the 'rc' script not long after I posted.
I finally determined that the script was properly creating and deleting
the lock file, it was just named wrong.

The lock file must be named either 'subsys' or 'subsys.init'.  This one
was trying to use 'subsys-init'.  Changed the dash to a period and the
problem went away.

Thanks for the help!
