The program init definitely runs as root.

Where exactly is this log located? Is the filesystem mounted at the time?
Please post the line from /etc/inittab .
... and if you are not starting the daemon from init please post how you are starting the daemon.

Ps. If you get an error message, please always post it verbatim. Please also mention the version of AIX.
