In this particular case, it looks like Postgres is trying to start as root, which it doesn't like to do. The general guidance is to use a non-root account as the owner and executor of CalendarServer and related services (postgres, memcached). See caldavd-apple.plist for an example - note the places where the "_calendar" user is referenced. To see a generic plist of all possible options (plus comments), check out caldavd-stdconfig.plist.
