If mandos-client works from the command line but not from the Initrd,
then there must be something wrong with the Initrd environment.  To find
out what is wrong with it, I would suggest two things:

1. Try to run mandos-client with the --debug option byt adding it to the
   /etc/mandos/plugin-runner.conf file (just uncomment the example
   line).

2. Boot with the extra Linux command line argument "break".  This will
   start a shell in the initrd, and mandos-client can the be run
   manually from the initrd to pinpoint the problem.
