-i runs a login shell so your current working directory will be set to the home directory of user1. Without this your CWD is not changing and user1 does not have read/execute access on the current directory where sudo is executing from.

Try this and post the output.
Code:
ls -ld .  #check permissions.
cd /tmp
sudo -u user1 -s -H
