I take it you type:
su
chmod 777 /dev/am

Why do you want 777 anyway? That file wants 666 (rw-rw-rw)

I only have minix x8 as a reference but they handle a lot at init.rc and init.amlogic.rc (and maybe more)...
So you must use something like 'Android.Image.Kitchen.v1.8' to strip the boot.img, edit the files and rebuild the boot.img (and also build a correct update.zip)...
If the rom you use allow to handle init.d (ore something like this) use it with a script...

Having the same problems as above running Finless 1.8 and XBMC downloaded from the website.

Is there any way to automate setting the permissions? or even have a script I can run from a script manager?

My init.d permission scripts if you want to try?
Just download > unzip > read README > move files > reboot
