When installing the news/nzbget port, the rc.d script (sh script) does not include the bin directories for /usr/local/{s}bin. This causes some alternatively loaded tools to fail (git for instance) when called from nzbget or scripts called by nzbget. I have solved locally by adding the following into the rc script.

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH

Just making sure this is, 1) The correct way. 2) Indeed viewed as a bug.

Thanks!
