 Just a hint:  I had some odd exec problems in the past
 (as it happens, also from xinetd and also path-related,
 but not(?) your problem), and found that exporting

    GIT_TRACE=/tmp/LOG-git-daemon

 gave some valuable clews.  I'm unaware of GIT_TRACE
 being documented.  I also concur it's annoying neither
 --syslog nor --verbose seems to cause these sort of
 errors to be logged.

cheers!
