intentservice has uid of 1000 from one android account but different uid for another user account

Vote count: 0

I have created an intentservice that is signed with system certs so it can have system privs and run as system. I put it in /system/app directory. When it is invoked by my application running under "Owner" account on android 4.4.2 it has the uid of 1000:

I/ActivityManager( 3223): Start proc com.abc.dbintentservice for service com.abc.dbintentservice/.DbIntentService: pid=4515 uid=1000 gids={41000, 1028, 1015, 1023, 3002, 3001, 3003}

and it has no problem opening an sqlite file with system ownership.

I created a secondary user profile and installed the same app that invokes the intentservice and I get a different uid

I/ActivityManager( 3227): Start proc com.abc.dbintentservice for service com.abc.dbintentservice/.DbIntentService: pid=5161 uid=1001000 gids={41000, 1028, 1015, 1023, 3002, 3001, 3003}

and the intentservice has a uid that cannot open the sqlite file.

Any insight is appreciated.
