I'm not 100% sure, but if I quite remember this is a known bug.

Alternatively you could use the 'root_prefix' option (introduced in aide

Please check if the bugs are still present in the latest git version of
aide[0]. If yes, please report bugs to sf.net[0] or if you use
Debian alternatively to the Debian BTS[2] (via reportbug).
