It's hard to say with the information we have what might be wrong. The
best advice I can come up with is double-check everything one more
time, and if you don't see the problem, try some more debugging:
Try the following,
$ awk '/awk '/^case \${local_startup/ { go = 1 } go == 1 { print } /^esac/ { go = 0 }' /etc/rc > /tmp/rc.startup
$ sh -x
$ . /etc/defaults/rc.conf
$ . /etc/rc.conf
$ . /tmp/rc.startup
And see what is going on. These commands are going to be a bit spammy,
and watch out if you actually try them as root.
