To give an example of how this is supposed to work, in /etc/init.d, we have a script called nfs.server. It is hard-linked to /etc/rc2.d/K60nfs.server and to /etc/rc3.d/S15nfs.server.
The S15 entry starts it up, while the K60 entry shuts it down. I could use any of these to manually start or stop it, but it kinda standard to use "/etc/init.d/nfs.server start", rather than one of the others.
So it sounds like you are missing a S link.
