Hm. Then I'm out of ideas, I'm afraid. I thought maybe sudo was
stuck
waiting for a password or something...
It is stuck waiting for a password (and your account name). Try this:
No, it would prompt you for the password.
set s to "/Library/StartupItems/Nleac/Nleac start"
set r to do shell script s user name "userid" password "password" with
administrator privileges

I am not familiar with Nleac, but I am assuming that "/Library/
StartupItems/Nleac/Nleac start" starts a process and you do not care
for the output.
As Mr. Nebel repeatedly pointed out, the correct way to issue this
command is:
<script>
set s to "/Library/StartupItems/Nleac/Nleac start > /dev/null 2>&1 &"
set r to do shell script s user name "userid" password "password"
with administrator privileges
</script>
This will launch Nleac running in the background without holding the
script until the process ends.
