It seems the funny %% variables cannot be understood.  I had to hard=20
code the paths:

#. "%%RC_SUBR%%"
=2E "/etc/rc.subr"

name=3D"vsftpd"
rcvar=3D`set_rcvar`

load_rc_config "$name"
: ${vsftpd_enable:=3D"NO"}
: ${vsftpd_flags:=3D""}

#command=3D"%%PREFIX%%/libexec/$name"
command=3D"/usr/local/libexec/$name"
#required_files=3D"%%PREFIX%%/etc/$name.conf"
required_files=3D"/usr/local/etc/$name.conf"

Then it worked.  I'm ok with this but it leaves me wondering why I have=20
to do this.  Thanks for your time.
