I can't reproduce your problem on a amd64 Debian squeeze.

Please provide more information to reproduce your problem.

Did the daily aide run ever work on that machine? Do I understand you
correctly that 'aideinit' works correctly but the daily aide run
doesn't? Could you please try to run 'update-aide.conf' followed by
'aide -c /var/lib/aide/aide.conf.autogenerated'?
