In your first post you stated that you want to have both started, right? But 
"after" is about order, not dependency. I'd say you need to put

rc_need="mpd"

into /etc/conf.d/mpdscrible and put mpdscrible into default runlevel, not mpd.

Maybe a combination of both

rc_after="mpdscrible"
rc_need="mpdscrible"

in /etc/conf.d/mpd could also work.

HTH...
