Did you load it? In 10.5 the keys in the launchd plist were sufficient, but
this made per-user launchd config difficult; later versions store the
"enabled" bit in per-uid databases (including for root) and require you to
manipulate that database:

    launchd load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/local.startup.plist

The -w is what updates the database so it will load on subsequent boots.

I've created several local launchd plists that way, and they work as long
as I have specified any dependencies properly (i.e. making sure any needed
subsystems are running; the only one that comes to mind for yours is
probably diskarbitrationd, but I don't know offhand how you specify a
dependency on it).
