See http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2531 for the same issue -
main problem being chef-expander has some mandatory arguments that
need to be passed. I suggest taking a look at the init scripts in
chef/distro/ for it, hopefully there's one for your platform.

eg: 
https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/distro/redhat/etc/init.d/chef-expander
