Your line means running the script on day 0, on a Friday of any month, and at 1:30am. I'm pretty sure AIX figured out that there is no day 0 on any of the 12 months in existence and thus gave you the error.

This should work for you

0 1 * * 0 /backup/backup/script/CIBUAT_bkp/tar_cibuat.sh

Are you sure you want to run the rmancold.sh or is it that you want to run tar_cibuat.sh?

man crontab for more info.
