David, you are not supposed to use the wrapper scripts inside
$DAISY_HOME/wrapper/bin/, but inside
$DAISY_DATADIR/service/ and $DAISY_WIKIDATADIR/service/

These should work out of the box.
We've put the wrapper scripts inside the data dirs because there they
will survive an upgrade of daisy.

The environment variables of the conf files inside the data dirs are
set during installation, so there should be no need to set them
manually.

The daisy documentation for the 2.0 branch has been updated already
and tells quite verbose how to use the scripts:
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-2_0/admin/service/193-cd.html

So for me your request boils down to the question:
how do we prevent the users from using the wrapper scripts in
DAISY_HOME and make them aware of the fact that the scripts in the
datadirs should be used?
Deleting them during installation does not seem to be desirable for
me. Maybe we should put a README.txt inside that directory? Or should
we make them runnable out of the box, too? Other suggestions?
