The location and owner of the pidfile depends on chroot and userid settings.
I personaly try to avoid init scripts (not only for that reason) So I can't really contribute...

generic options:
 - pimp the code to handle the pidfile before chroot/setuid
   ( challenge: remove the pidfile )
 - take a debian skeleton initfile as a base
 - look at the init file of the debian package of opendkim ( is Mike Markley a listmember ? )
