Again this output was on the second attempt to install, this time running the script sudo'd.

Thanks much for any help you can provide, and much thanks for this awesome project.

seems like a problem with the initscript, which won't be overwritten with a new one if you have messed with it. Try sudo apt-get purge sabnzbdplus && sudo apt-get autoremove.

Then reinstall. See if that works. (the manual install is a simple sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus btw. The script doesn't do much more than that).
