OK, something to note here. When you say that you 'su-root', what command
are you running exactly? 'su' will indeed get you to UID0, but it will not
make the shell a login shell . . . thus no root environment. Running
'su -' will get you a login shell, which means that you get the same
environment as if you had actually typed "root" and root's password at the
login prompt. The difference could definitely account for a path
discrepancy.
