I think this is a problem of Ubuntu not pgpool. I guess /var/run
is mounted to tmpfs, so the contents of the directory is deleted on
reboot. If so, the directory for pid should be made in the init
script such as:

PGPOOLUSER=postgres
...
PGPOOLPIDDIR=/var/run/pgpool
...

if [ ! -d $PGPOOLPIDDIR ]
then
    mkdir $PGPOOLPIDDIR
    chown ${PGPOOLUSER}: $PGPOOLPIDDIR
fi
