git-daemon fatal error running with monit

hello git masters.

I am having a problem running git-daemon from within 'monit' (http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/index.php ). I can run git-daemon every time without error if I manually issue the command to run it in a terminal. However, if I have monit execute the exact same command I get an error from git-daemon in syslog and the client request fails every time. Running on Ubuntu 7.04. Can you take a look?

Unfortunately the error info in the logs is minimal. All details of my config and the error can be found here in this pastie: http://git.pastebin.com/m20fab0a9

Thanks in advance.
