Ok, have a look at plugbase.c:540-543.

     540     if(!pv.quiet_flag)
     541     {
     542         LogMessage("Initializing Output Plugins!\n");
     543     }

If the quiet flag is not set, then it would print that.  But since you're
setting it it shouldn't be printing.

What I'm guessing is that you're running it without the -D flag.  From the
code of LogMessage in util.c:552-572 it seems it makes three checks.  If quiet
and daemon, then return.  If daemon, go to syslog otherwise print to stderr.
That would fit for what you're describing.

If you _are_ running with the -D flag, then there's something else going on.
