I've run into that.  AIX puts restrictions on scripts run "su root" for
security reasons.  First, the first line (if a C shell script) has to
be "#!/bin/csh -b".  ksh scripts should also begin similarly.  The -b
prevents the shell from interpreting script arguments as commands.
Second, make sure it does not have group or other write permission.
