^ Agree with the above 2 comments.
Also, is there a reason that you aren't using || true at the end of onStartup and onMove?

Oh actually, from my reading of the docs, || true might not be needed at all? (except for onStartup, if that's what you want):

By default Lsyncd ignores all exit codes except onStartup which must return 0 for it to continue.

fyi, there has been a documentation update with example: lsyncd/lsyncd#463
