You should attach to the process as root, or replace the binary with a
script along the lines of:

# mv binary binary.real
# echo '#!/bin/sh' > binary
# echo 'exec strace -ff -s 256 -o /tmp/binary.trace binary.real "$*"' >> binary

That should give you a file in /tmp called binary.trace, and a
seperate file for each child it spawns.
