This is all very odd. chkconfig, IIUC, merely creates the symbolic links
in /etc/rc.d/rc.[0-6] to /etc/init.d/<scriptname>. If there's already one
in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d that begins with an S, it should have been found by the
startup scripts.
Perhaps you could try chkconfig pgstartstop off, then on, and see if that
works.
I assume that you've checked /var/log/messages for anything occuring
during startup.

Thank you Mark and Hugh;
Ran 'chkconfig pgstartstop off' then 'on' and it now appears in chkconfig --list;
pgstartstop 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

I'll let you know how the reboot goes.
Best,
James
