Unison - init/upstart script

I am trying to get unison running as a socket service and have created an upstart script for that purpose.

Trouble is that clients cannot connect. The script is as follows:
---------
# upstart script to start unison socket service
# using port 2225
# this file should be named unison.conf
# it should be located in /etc/init/

description "unison service"

# Stanzas
#
# Stanzas control when and how a process is started and stopped
# See a list of stanzas here: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas#respawn

# When to start the service
start on runlevel [2345]

# When to stop the service
stop on runlevel [016]

# Automatically restart process if crashed
respawn

# Essentially lets upstart know the process will detach itself to the background
expect fork

# Start the process
exec unison -socket 2225
---------

I also tried an old school init.d script, clients connect to that, but it will not run at startup:
---------
#!/bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: unison
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: control unison
### END INIT INFO

case "$1" in
 start)
  log_daemon_msg "Starting Unison daemons"
  start-stop-daemon --background --exec $UNISON_BIN --start -- $UNISON_ARGS

  $0 stop
  sleep 5
  $0 start
  ;;

  echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/unison {start|stop|restart|force-reload}"
  exit 1
  ;;

exit 0
