I had the same issue, including: 

Can't open scim/run at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/daemon.pm line 448.

Here's what I did to fix the issue:

touch /etc/bigstart/scripts/scim
bigstart add --default icrd
bigstart enable icrd
bigstart start icrd

Additionally, I had an LTM that wouldn't start the service. I found that the 

run
script was missing. (It appears bigstart uses daemontools for services.) Upon running 
bigstart status icrd
if received this message:

icrd run (pid 16233) 0 seconds, 1 start, 634 restarts

The cause was a missing 

/service/icrd/run
script. Fix this problem with: 

ln -s /etc/bigstart/scripts/icrd /service/icrd/run
