By default su won't process any login scripts unless you feed it a '-' or a 
'-l' on the command line, or create an alias for su so that when you type su 
on the command line your actually getting 'su -'.

That'll "fix it" though again, what you're seeing is a feature not something 
that's broken.

Cheers.
