Hi Ruy
You have correctly identified the problem - because your Perforce server is
running as a service it defaults to System. This is also the user that will
default to when executing triggers.

See also the paper I presented at:

You may wish to consider:
- passing in the user for the script to use as a parameter
- logging that user in to the server manually and put them into a group with
a large timeout (e.g. 99999999 (8x9s) - 3 years)
- improving your script error handling so that you spot this sort of thing
more easily
