Are you logged in and running the script as root? FWIW -- sudo was designed to run pieces of code as somebody else.
root can sudo to anybody.

NAME
viewsudo - execute a command as another (virtual) user SYNOPSIS
viewsudo [-g groupname|#gid] [-u username|#uid] command DESCRIPTION
viewsudo allows a user to execute a command as the superuser or another user in View-OS. OPTIONS
viewsudo accepts the following command line options: -g group Normally, viewsudo sets the primary group to root. The -g option causes sudo to run the specified command with the primary group set to group. To specify a gid instead of a group name, use #gid. When running commands as a gid, many shells require that the '#' be escaped with a backslash ('[u2019]). If no -u option is specified, the command will be run as the invoking user (not root). In either case, the primary group will be set to group. -u user The -u option causes viewsudo to run the specified command as a user other than root. To specify a uid instead of a user name, use #uid. When running commands as a uid, many shells require that the '#' be escaped with a backslash ('[u2019]). RETURN VALUES
Upon successful execution of a program, the exit status from viewsudo will simply be the exit status of the program that was executed. SEE ALSO
