So the one that we are concerned with here is 5.3

It would appear, from the previous output in BBOUT, that bb-combo.sh
may be the cause of part of the problem. If you remove the "set -x"
from bb-local.sh and add it to bb-combo.sh instead, you should get
a different trace output in BBOUT. Hopefully, that will provide
some more clues.

Also, with reference to your earlier post, if this machine has not
been configured with a hostname, you will have to provide a match
for the name used in the bb-hosts file in $BBHOME/etc/bbaliasname.
Otherwise, BB will not be able to determine how to correctly form
the messages it is trying to send.

Note that the "uname -n" command is not (directly) related to the
"named" daemon. I don't remember exactly how AIX used to do this
(and I don't think that I've ever seen 5.3), but "uname" is normally
just an interface to various local information. The "uname -n" often
uses a file, such as /etc/hostname, as a source. The DNS name (as
reported by "named" or another BIND) can be something else entirely.

Cheers, Phil.
