Description of problem:
The hypervkvpd service in the RHEL5.9 guest can't be started by the commands "service hypervkvpd start" and "/etc/init.d/hypervkvpd start". Details:

[root@localhost ~]# service hypervkvpd status
hv_kvp_daemon is stopped
[root@localhost ~]# service hypervkvpd start
[root@localhost ~]# service hypervkvpd status
hv_kvp_daemon is stopped
[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/hypervkvpd start
[root@localhost ~]# service hypervkvpd status
hv_kvp_daemon is stopped

Got the result as below when run with "-x":
...
+ HV_KVP_BIN=/usr/sbin/hv_kvp_daemon
+ lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/hypervkvpd
+ test -x /usr/sbin/hv_kvp_daemon
+ case "$1" in
+ rh_status_q
+ rh_status
+ exit 0
...

There is an redundant line in the rh_status function, which makes the status of rh_status_q always true.
Below update make the problem fixed:

 rh_status() {
         # run checks to determine if the service is running or use generic status
         status $HV_KVP_BIN
-        RETVAL=$?
+        #RETVAL=$?
 }
