This is making the service crash, not sure why:

------
# herd start syncthing-leo
Service user-homes has been started.
herd: error: exception caught while executing 'start' on service 'syncthing-leo':
In procedure vector-ref: Wrong argument in position 1 (expecting vector): "leo"
------

Of course my user's name is leo in the test VM.

I added some print-style tracing (attached diff) and it crashes in
chown.
