That's because SystemStarter runs at system startup, and doesn't search the user domain because the user is root at that time.

If your daemon is started from SystemStarter it obviously runs as root, and can do pretty much what it wants. You will encounter many issues if you try to run as a user, connect to the windowserver, etc, from a daemon started from SystemStarter.

PS. Login items does not work correctly for my problem

Define "does not work correctly".

You have not provided any information as to why login items is not an acceptable solution. From the information you have provided, it most certainly sounds like the most sensible solution and I can see no reason why it would not work.

Failing that, have a look at /etc/mach_init_per_user.d (but this is new in 10.3).
