This is a shot in the dark, but:
Make sure you 'su' program is setuid root, and both /etc/passwd and
/etc/group are world readable.
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root bin 9853 Aug 14 1995 /bin/su*
It sounds like what's happening is the program is trying to do something
and doesn't have the permissions to do it (e.g. doing a setgid(0)).
