That's correct.  On Mac OS X proxy credentials are stored in the per-user keychain rather than the System keychain, something you can verify in Keychain Access.  If you're running as a daemon, you won't be able to get at a proxy credential that's been configured by a specific user.  You will have to provide the way for the user to configure this.

Are you sure you should be running as a daemon?  A daemon provides background services to all users on the system, meaning that it's possible you might have to handle the case where different users have different proxy credentials.
