You see, running a command through "sudo" means it is not executed as your user but as some other user. Which one that is (most times it is "root", but that doesn't have to be so) can be found out only by inspecting the file /etc/sudoers. Have a look at it with "view", "more" or something similar (it is safe to view it but under no circumstances change it!).
As the scripts are executable for everybody already you might consider dumping the "sudo" altogether and just run

viewsudo
VIEW-OS(1) General Commands Manual VIEW-OS(1)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.
