I suspect that /lib/lsb/init-functions does not have 1:1 replacements
for /etc/init.d/functions. I think the "success: command not found" is
merely that this section of the procollator start up file isn't
finding the reporting tools it wants. Look at the line inside the test
for $RETVAL; 'success' seems to be a command, probably created by the
included init functions library. 

start()
{
  echo -n $"Starting procallator: "
  if test -x $procallator; then
    $procallator &
    RETVAL=$?
    PID=$!
    if test $RETVAL -eq 0; then
      success $"procallator startup"
      touch /var/lock/subsys/procallator
      echo $PID > /var/run/procallator.pid
    else
      failure $"procallator startup"
    fi
    echo
  else
    failure "$0: $procallator does not exist or is not executable."
  fi
}

As yoy point out, procallator is running - or could be - if only you
rewrite the init.d script.
