When instructed, udisks-glue creates a PID file, but it is really more of a lock file, as it does not contain the actual process ID. This is why the start-stop-daemon uses 'exec' instead of 'startas' and 'pidfile'. udisks-glue is still passed the -p argument as the existence of a pidfile will prevent multiple instances.
