ptpd won't start as a service

Now this really is getting me nuts. I installed ptpd on ubuntu 14.04 and it I just can't get this to work to run as a service. In /etc/default/ptpd I have the following entries: START_DAEMON = yes and PTPD_OPTS = "-G -h -b eth0" but that won't work. When I do sudo ptpd -G -h -b eth0 by command line then the program is starting fine. I already tried to put ptpd -G -h -b eth0 into a batch file called usr/local/bin/start.sh and start this file by /etc/rc.local but that won't work too. The program is just not starting automatically. Any kind of help is very appreciated.
