Meh. This init script is nice and all -- but so un-unixy that I want to
cry ;-)

Did you copy it as-is? Then you'd have to make sure that you are user
1000 on the system.
You can find out by typing the command id into a shell.

As already stated, you have to provide emacsclient with a file which
(a) gives it a hint on how to contact the server
(b) gives it the authority to do so.
Typically, the server makes this file at start.
What's in this "example.desktop" file?
Basically, I think it's not a good idea to start the server from init.d
- -- it's a user thing, so it should be started on user session.
