  I use it like that as unprivileged user all the time.
  (but I have no root password set, sloppy I know.)
  It doesn't work with the default SU_CMD though.

So are you using the SU_CMD above?  I use

SU_CMD=${LOCALBASE}/bin/sudo /bin/sh -c

and have the problem.  I think what's going on is that one of the steps
is skipped.  I wonder if it's a quoting issue with the command being
wrapped in the SU_CMD wrapper incorrectly where part of it gets ignored.
