How to resolve error "SRC did not 'startsrc splunkweb' on our behalf: exit code=1" when restarting a 6.0.13 universal forwarder on AIX?

My Splunk Deploy Server is CentOS 6.7

The UF, Splunk Universal Forwarder 6.0.13 running on server, AIX 7.1.

If you register boot-start enable after installing the agent, the service is registered in SRC.
However, when you deploy an app from deployment server, an Errpt message is generated on the AIX server.
This issue only occurs when boot-start enable is enabled. It does not occur when disable. It seems to happen when registering Splunk service in SRC.

this issue is present also in other versions of Splunk Forwarder: e.g. it's present also in 6.3.x until 6.3.8.
Bye.
