AceDB OnInitialize does not save

I'm having some difficulties in getting AceDB to save changes between sessions. I have a small core addon, a separate module addon to go along with it, and an AceConfigDialog to change settings.

When changing settings within the session everything works as expected; however, those changes don't persist between sessions (logout, ReloadUI, etc.). If I move setting up the db to the ADDON_LOADED event, the changes are saved between sessions. Hopefully someone can help me out in explaining why this is?

Core.lua:
Code:
aUI = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):NewAddon("aUI", "AceConsole-3.0", "AceEvent-3.0")
local db

aUI.Version = {
    [1] = 2,
    [2] = 0,
    [3] = " alpha",
}

local defaults = {
    profile = {
        ['*'] = true,
        modules =  {
            ErrorControl = true,
        },
        test = {
            val1 = false,
            val2 = false,
            val3 = true,
        }
    }
}

aUI.optTable = {
    --big options table
}

LibStub("AceConfig-3.0"):RegisterOptionsTable("aUI", aUI.optTable, "o")
LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):AddToBlizOptions("aUI", "aUI Test")

function aUI:SetModuleState(mod, value)
    if value ~= db.modules[mod] then
        db.modules[mod] = value

        if value then
            self:EnableModule(mod)
        else
            self:DisableModule(mod)
        end
        self.db.profile = db
    end
end

-- Get Module State
function aUI:GetModuleState(mod)
    return db.modules[mod]
end

-- Get Option Tables
function aUI:UpdateOptions(...)
    if (...) then
        local name, options = ...
        local mod = aUI:GetModule(name)
        aUI.optTable.args[name] = options
    else
        for name, mod in aUI:IterateModules() do
            optTable.args[name] = mod:GetOptionsTable()
        end    
    end
end

function aUI:ADDON_LOADED()
    -- this works
    -- self.db = LibStub("AceDB-3.0"):New("aUIDB", defaults, true)

    -- db = self.db.profile
end

function aUI:OnInitialize()
    --Setup DB
    self.db = LibStub("AceDB-3.0"):New("aUIDB", defaults, true)

    db = self.db.profile

    --Register Chat Commands
    self:RegisterChatCommand("rl", function() ReloadUI() end)

    self:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
end
Module.lua:
Code:
local aUI = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("aUI")

local MODULE = "ErrorControl"
local ErrorControl = aUI:NewModule(MODULE, "AceEvent-3.0")
local db

-- List of UI Errors
local FilterList = {
    -- Long ipairs of [UI_ERRORS] = UI_ERRORS
}

function ErrorControl:UI_ERROR_MESSAGE(event, errCode, err)
    if err == "" then return end

    if not db.filterList[err] and not db.hideAllErrors then
        UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(err, 1, 0, 0)
    end
end

function ErrorControl:OnInitialize()
    self.db = aUI.db:RegisterNamespace(MODULE)
    self.db:RegisterDefaults({
        profile = {
            hideAllErrors = false,
            filterList = {
                -- List of default [UI_ERRORS] = true/false
            },
        },
    })
    db = self.db.profile

    self:SetEnabledState(aUI:GetModuleState(MODULE))
    aUI:UpdateOptions(MODULE, self:GetOptionsTable())
    self:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
end

function ErrorControl:OnEnable()
    self:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE")
    UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE")
end

function ErrorControl:OnDisable()
    self:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE")
    UIErrorsFrame:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE")
end

function ErrorControl:GetOptionsTable()
    local options = {
        -- long options table using FilterList for multiselect
    }

    return options
end

Check out SmartRes2 and SmartRes2 Chat Module to see a working example.

Both addons are "dead" for Retail and Classic, the former because it isn't needed, the latter because I'd have to rewrite they thing (yet again) from scratch including LibResInfo. However, the parts you want do still work.

Thanks, I took a look - but I don't see anything different? Maybe I'm just blind.. AceDB is created OnInitialize() and in the module gets a reference to the DB object and registers a namespace, setting defaults.
