Hm, that eliminates my first theory that the rc.d script is using
initdb's --xlogdir switch to try to put pg_xlog someplace that doesn't
exist on your system.  But it seems like this must be some variant of
that.  A simple permissions problem is not very credible, because at
this point initdb has successfully made the data directory and a bunch
of files within it already.

You could get more information by using the --noclean switch to prevent
removal of the datadir after failure, and then having a look at the
debris.  Is there a pg_xlog subdirectory inside /zdb/pgsql/data, and if
so what permissions has it got?  Perhaps it is not a directory, but a
symlink to somewhere else?
