Hmm... I think that's actually bash generating the error. It seems to
be unhappy with initdb for some unknown reason. It might be worth
trying with another shell (I think solaris installs ksh or csh by
default).
permissions on /usr/bin/initdb is
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 56276 Jul 12 19:26 /usr/bin/initdb
permissions on the /var/lib/pgsql/data
drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 512 Nov 27 15:43 data

What's the *exact* error you got, and how *exactly* did you invoke
initdb?
