This is "normal".  I have the same output with a working rc.local.

I have run into this situation where I thought it wasn't working.  But it turned out to be
a problem with the commands being run.

To see if you have a similar issue, just add a "touch" command in the rc.local and
reboot.  Then check to make sure the touch was successful.
