Reason for disabling /etc/init.d script is that you usually do not
want ldirectord to be started during system boot.  However, init.d
script only calls /usr/sbin/ldirectord.  And
/etc/ha.d/resource.d/ldirectord is symlink to /usr/sbin/ldirectord.

Try with ldirectord ldirectord.cf reload.  It seems to make
difference, even if ldirectord.cf is default configuration file name.

After few quick tests it seems that reload may have some issues.  Some
changes performed in config file were not correctly propagated to ipvs
configuration...
