Nothing gets written when logging, I've tried a combination of stdout,
and stdout 2>&1 stderr redirection. Next step seems like strace or
ltrace would be a way to get more info.

I also tried using 'script' and 'expect fork' but neither changed the
behaviour of either locking up, or only executing one of the port
forwarding SSH tunnels.

UnfortunatelyI think it is rc.local for now.

Thanks all, Jamon
