Probably trying to start CMOD for the first time after a fresh install, or an upgrade.
Troubleshooting
In some systems, the owner of all of the Content Manager OnDemand files installed under /usr/lpp/ars/bin, /opt/ondemand/bin, or /opt/IBM/ondemand/V9.x has been changed to be 'non-root'. This is typically done for security reasons, so that a remote exploit of the OnDemand daemon (arssockd) doesn't immediately provide root privileges to the attacker. After an upgrade, these permissions may have been re-written, and need to be reimplemented.
In this case, the UNIX file and group ownership need to be set to match the UNIX user name that will run arssockd.
