Why won't syndaemon start from /etc/rc5.d?

I'm trying to start syndaemon during boot so it's available from the login window. Nothing has worked, so I have evolved a more and more complicated attempt to try to get at what is going on. Here is where I am at now:
Contents of /etc/rc5.d/S99syndaemon:
#!/bin/bash
/home/michael/syntest &
Contents of /home/michael/syntest
#!/bin/bash
echo "BEGIN" >> /home/michael/synlog
ps aux | grep [s]yndaemon
I=0
while [ "$?" = "1" ]; do
let I=$I+1
echo "TRY $I" >> /home/michael/synlog
syndaemon -d -i 0.5 -R >> /home/michael/synlog2 2>&1
sleep 1
ps aux | grep [s]yndaemon
done
ps aux | grep [s]yndaemon >> /home/michael/synlog
echo "END" >> /home/michael/synlog
Permissions:
ls -l /etc/rc5.d/S99syndaemon /etc/init.d/syndaemon /home/michael/syntest
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37 Apr 22 20:59 /etc/init.d/syndaemon
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Apr 22 18:24 /etc/rc5.d/S99syndaemon -> ../init.d/syndaemon
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 362 Apr 22 20:54 /home/michael/syntest
The log file /home/michael/synlog is not being created.
I also tried both of these commands, to no effect:
sudo update-rc.d syndaemon defaults
sudo service syndaemon start
Why won't my script run? Why isn't synclient being run?

From "The log file /home/michael/synlog is not being created." I suspect that/home/michaelis an encryptedHOMEdirectory, Ifdf $HOMEshows/home/michael/.Private ...it is. Therefore, it is not "mounted" until you login. Store your script somewhere else that is mounted when/etc/rc5.d/*is run, e.g. a directory you create under/usr/localsee en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard

@waltinator HOME is not encrypted. I tried several other directories too including /dev/shm initially... my guess was it wasn't mounted yet (but so late in rc5.d???) hence my attempt at a loop as well as other directories.
