If you use
--make-pidfile \
--pidfile /var/run/jabber/$(basename ${cfgfile%.xml}).pid \

instead of
--pid /var/run/jabber/$(basename ${cfgfile%.xml}).pid \

then init-script will create a pid-file. --pid seems to be wrong according to manpage

IMHO we should ignore pidfile in xml-config (comment it for default config in ebuild) and use pid-files created by init-script.
