Hi Tom/Hans,

I just wanted to get back to you - removing the /bin/su had no effect.

I was speaking with the support engineer for the module that is getting
loaded, and he thinks there is some environment variable not getting
passed somewhere.

I'm wondering if there might be a path issue - root can run it ok, but
the unpriv user cannot.

Still experimenting . . .
