I am actually using different directory from /etc/pdns, but the problem is
the same for /etc/pdns. Here is the part of strace output:

...
open("/home/system/config/dns/pdns/pdns.conf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
read(4, "# first line of the config file"..., 8191) = 8066
...
# 20 lines later, propably after forking
getppid()                               = 9420
time(NULL)                              = 1308847527
stat64("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2721, ...}) = 0
write(2, "Jun 23 19:45:27 ", 16)        = 16
write(2, "Unable to launch, no backends co"..., 53) = 53
...
exit_group(99)

By the way, I am using CentOS 5.3, kernel 2.6.18
