lvm help

I placed the 2 required commands in rc.sysinit (rh71) before hte section "Mounting other file"
gave vgscan the -d option and left vgchange -ay. During the boot process I see where vscan uodated lvmtab and lvmtab.d and it say successfull but when I look into lvmd.d it is empty. after I log in then do the vgscan the correct entries are made. Ant help would be appreciated.
