They need to be owned by root, as do the containing directories.
Make sure that /Library/StartupItems is owned by root:wheel,

I logged in as Root and just re-installed Wireshark

That did not help

Does it also say "Insecure Startup Item disabled"? This bug has that error too:

This bug suggests an alternative to the current script:
