Tried rebuilding and ended un with this error
The directory /run/gvmd/gvm-checking does not even exist as it should be.

Without knowing the error details from the log I can only guess.

Maybe it is again an issue with the forking mode of systemd? You could try to change the service file to

[Unit]
Description=Greenbone Vulnerability Manager daemon (gvmd)

Had a quick look at the gvmd sources too. gvm-checking is a lock file generated by gvmd. That means in your case /run/gvmd does not exist (it should be created by systemd automatically) or has the wrong permissions (if not created by systemd).
