There may only be a few reasons that Monit cannot start the program a) the user 
that started Monit does not have permission to start the process or there are 
other permission problems such as if the program write to a file or b) that the 
program need special environment variables, such as PATH set. As you may or may 
not know, Monit strips the environment and leave only a spartan PATH. Please 
check this and also any log files such as /var/messages etc for clues. If all 
else fails; strace Monit and see what actually fails.
