[Icecast] Icecast Fedora9 migration problems

Ok, First I want to start off with this isn't the first icecast I have 
cloned, but it is the first where I have not only jumped Fedora release 
versions, but arch types as well (i386 - x86_64) and I am having strange 
problems. The Icecast versions are the same between the old and new servers.

The biggest being is that the server binds to whatever port it feels 
like instead of the bind port specified. The rest of the issues I have 
with Icecast are minor (stats? What stats?) so here is the startup 
script and config I am using:


Icecast 2.3.1:
############Startup Script##########3
#!/bin/sh
#

#              the icecast multimedia streaming systen.

case "$1" in

        # Start daemon.
        echo -n $"Starting icecast streaming daemon: "
        daemon "/usr/bin/icecast -b -c /etc/icecast.xml > /dev/null"
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/icecast
        ;;
  stop)
        # Stop daemon.
        echo -n $"Shutting down icecast streaming daemon: "
        killproc icecast
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/icecast
        ;;
  status)
        status icecast
        RETVAL=$?
        ;;
  restart)
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        ;;
  reload)
        echo -n $"Reloading icecast: "
        killproc icecast -HUP
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        ;;
  condrestart)
        [ -f /var/lock/subsys/icecast ] && restart || :
        ;;
  *)
        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|reload}"
        RETVAL=1
        ;;
esac

exit $RETVAL
