The issue appears to be in line 35 of your init script:

$prog $BARNYARD_OPTS

It is complaining that it cannot find barnyard2. Try either changing your $PATH, installing to a different location, or changing the prog=barnyard2 line to point to the full path, for example prog=/usr/local/bin/barnyard (which would also require changing .

On a side note, I believe you will need to change the -X option to --pid-path as the directory in which to store the pid file.
