Hi in this case its most probably the timing of when fetchmail is trying 
to start.  So first check the obvious is fetchmail trying to start 
before Networking is up for example.  You can modify when the service is 
starting by modifying the chkconfig line in your init script. 

Eg
chkconfig: 35 99 95 means start in runlevels 3 and 5 S99 and K95
