Running node.js forever as daemon

I configured forever to run my node.js server on startup. using this scipt. It works fine. and forever keeps the server running. However, when I run forever list, I don't see my server here! I know it's running but it's never in this list. It looks like that the system is running two instances of forever.

root@ddd [/etc/init.d]# chkconfig  --list |grep node1
node1 0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

This is the script: /etc/init.d/node1

NAME=node1
NODE_BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin
NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules
APPLICATION_DIRECTORY=/home/user1/www
APPLICATION_START=node1.js
PIDFILE=/var/run/node1.pid
LOGFILE=/var/log/node1.log

PATH=$NODE_BIN_DIR:$PATH
export NODE_PATH=$NODE_PATH

start() {
    echo "Starting $NAME"
    forever --pidFile $PIDFILE --sourceDir $APPLICATION_DIRECTORY \
        -a -l $LOGFILE --minUptime 5000 --spinSleepTime 2000 \
        start $APPLICATION_START &
    RETVAL=$?
}

stop() {
    if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
        echo "Shutting down $NAME"
        forever stop $APPLICATION_START
        rm -f $PIDFILE
        RETVAL=$?
    else
        echo "$NAME is not running."
        RETVAL=0
    fi
}

restart() {
    echo "Restarting $NAME"
    stop
    start
}

status() {
    echo "Status for $NAME:"
    forever list
    RETVAL=$?
}

case "$1" in
    start)
        start
        ;;
    stop)
        stop
        ;;
    status)
        status
        ;;
    restart)
        restart
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: {start|stop|status|restart}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
exit $RETVAL
