.bashrc

I have a slight problem. I can't load my user.

The root GUI will load. So I open a terminal emulator (te) and type 
    su <user>
With the return reply :
     Password:
funny, I thought root te was automatically superuser. I enter it in any case with the response:
    su: Authentication failure
    bash: /home/<user>.bashrc: Permission denied

So I think, ';Check the settins of this file:
root@2[bmike1]# ls -la |more
    total 636
    [truncate]
    -rwxrwxrwx    1 bmike1   bmike1        123 2006-10-23 21:43 .bashrc
    [truncate]
    root@2[bmike1]#

It looks good? What do ya think might be wrong?

here is .bashrc if that helps:

    root@2[bmike1]# more .bashrc

    [ -f /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc
    [ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile

    export KDEDIR=/usr
    export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
    root@2[bmike1]# ]
