AIX 5.3 Using sudo to control smit

Does anyone have any experience using sudo to control smit on AIX 5.3?

These are the smit commands that I want certain users to execute:
Code:
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias SMIT = /bin/smit hacmp, \
/bin/smit pxdam, \
/bin/smit cl_lsuser, \
/bin/smit cl_users, \
/bin/smit cl_passwd

Specifically, I am having issues with smit cl_lsuser and smit cl_users. I get these messages:
Code:
0518-506 odmget: Cannot open object class HACMPnode
Check path name and permissions.
cl_lsuser: Unable to determine node list for the cluster.
0518-506 odmget: Cannot open object class HACMPlogs
Check path name and permissions.
The cluster log entry for cspoc.log could not be found in the HACMPlogs ODM.
Defaulting to log directory /var/hacmp/log for log file cspoc.log.

It looks like it is no longer running as root. Does anyone have any ideas? Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.

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
