Error at start/monitorize crashed process

[J1 Simón]

Hi,
Gentoo 64 bits

I have defined the next service in monitrc:

        check process trans-simon with pidfile
   /var/run/transmission-simon.pid
            start program = "/etc/init.d/trans-simon start"
            stop program  = "/etc/init.d/trans-simon stop"
            if 2 restarts within 4 cycles then exec
   "/etc/init.d/trans-simon zap"
            if 7 restarts within 10 cycles then timeout

This the output of monit.log with this service:

Output of daemon.log:

   Sep 24 15:09:45 ks212190 /etc/init.d/trans-simon[55382]: WARNING:
   trans-simon has already been started
   Sep 24 15:11:16 ks212190 /etc/init.d/trans-simon[55496]: WARNING:
   trans-simon has already been started

In Gentoo it can't start a service that theoretically is started 
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=4) . 
The correct, I think, would be execute a restart or a stop and then 
start. Not a start directly.
For this erroneous behaviour I have defined: if 2 restarts within 4 
cycles then exec "/etc/init.d/trans-simon zap"

But the worst is that the service is started:

   simon    55606     1  0 15:12 ?        00:00:08
   /usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon ....

   # cat /var/run/transmission-simon.pid
   55606

 but Monit says no:

   # monit summary
   The Monit daemon 5.5 uptime: 2d 19h 45m
   Process 'trans-simon'               Timeout

And the alert emails are confusing too (in chronological order):

   Does not exist Service trans-simon

It executes a timeout before "7 restarts within 10 cycles" and then it 
says that the process is active but monit summary still show it as 
timeout. ¿?
What's the problem?
Regards.
