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.

INIT(8) System Manager's Manual INIT(8)
NAME
init - initialize machine upon booting
SYNOPSIS
/$cputype/init [ -ctm ] [ command ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Init initializes the machine: it establishes the name space (see namespace(4) and newns in auth(2)), and environment (see env(3)) and
starts a shell (rc(1)) on the console. If a command is supplied, that is run instead of the shell. On a CPU server the invoked shell runs
cpurc(8) before accepting commands on the console; on a terminal, it runs termrc and then the user's profile. Options -t (terminal) and -c
(CPU) force the behavior to correspond to the specified service class. Otherwise init uses the value of the environment variable $service
to decide the service class.
Init sets environment variables $service (either to the incoming value or according to -t or -c), $objtype (to the value of $cputype),
$user (to the contents of #c/user), and $timezone (to the contents of /adm/timezone/local).
With option -m init starts only an interactive shell regardless of the command or service class.
On a CPU server, init requires the machine's password to be supplied before starting rc on the console.
Init is invoked by boot(8), which sets the arguments as appropriate.
