Look at the content of mono-service2 script and check if
it's actually calling $prefix/lib/mono/2.0/mono-service.exe.

At least one RedHat related distro is erroneously
invoking "mono-service2.exe" but I don't remember which one
it is.

Irrelevant. The exceptions you've encountered in the trace are
just created in advance. They are not thrown at this point.
