I can get this program to run by
nohupping/backgrounding it, but I'd really like get
this program to run as a daemon.
Your wording there makes me think that perhaps you don't
understand hwat it is you are aking for.
Any program which when run, sits and waits for input
can be considered a simple daemon. When you say
that if you nohup and/or background it it works, i get the
impressing tha the daemon is working just fine -- it's only
when you log out that it dies -- which is true of a lot of
things that can still be considered daemons.
I think the real question you want to be asking is
"how can I make my daemon detach itself from its parent?"

in particular looks interesting.
