I believe you need to disconnect stdin as well as stdout and stderr.
That is, add a "</dev/null" as well.

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.
