   In the past I also had a problem when git was installed
  in /usr/local/bin and git-daemon was launched from xinetd.
  I don't recall the details now, but believe all the obvious
  suspects (conflicting git installation, /usr/local/bin not
  in PATH, mis-installed/mis-configured git, et al.) seemed Ok.
  In any case, I debugged the problem by adding:

     env  +=  GIT_TRACE=/tmp/LOG-git-daemon

  to the xinetd config.  I suggest trying that and seeing
  what the logfile contains.

cheers!

p.s.  In my case, *using the information in the logfile*,
     I eventually worked-around it by adding
     ‘--exec-path=/usr/local/bin’ to the ‘server_args’.
     I never did work out exactly what was going wrong (this
     was with a self-built git v1.5.5 on CentOS release 5).
