Go through the possible sources of your problem step by step:
1. check all the mountpoints where filesystems in the rootvg are mounted. The should at least have the execute bits set (filemode 111), but it is good practice to set them at 777 anyways.
2. check all the files not only if they are in place but also if the have the correct ownership/filemode:
/etc/environment
/etc/passwd
/etc/groups
/etc/profile
and probably some more. Examine the login process thoroughly to find out which files are accessed during it. Then make sure all these files have the read-bit set for world.
I hope this helps.

local-filesystems
local-filesystems(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual local-filesystems(7)
NAME
local-filesystems - event signalling that local filesystems have been mounted
SYNOPSIS
local-filesystems [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The local-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all local filesystems listed in fstab(5). moun-
tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
activity.
This event is typically used by services that must be started in order for remote filesystems, if any, to be activated. Remember that some
users may not consider it wrong to place /usr on a remote filesystem. For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.
This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.
EXAMPLE
A service that wishes to be running once local filesystems are mounted might use:
start on local-filesystems
