FC6 Issue with Cups after update

I just did a yum update on my son's computer.  Now the cups daemon
won't start.  Running /sbin/service cups start results in:

   Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting!

I checked the permissions and they are root, lp 644.

If I run the same code as in the /etc/init.d/cups script, it starts
and works fine:

  su
  . /etc/init.d/functions
  DAEMON=cupsd
  prog=cups
  echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
  daemon $DAEMON
  RETVAL=$?
  [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/cups

Using su, I tested and user lp can read the cupsd.conf file.

Any ideas?
