Your problem here is that various csh's won't run setuid-root scripts unless
you specify (I think) the -b flag. From the Solaris csh man page:

...
     -b Force a "break" from option processing. Subsequent
               command line arguments are not interpreted as C
               shell options. This allows the passing of options
               to a script without confusion. The shell does not
               run set-user-ID or set-group-ID scripts unless
               this option is present.
...

then again, maybe it was done deliberately to foil script kiddies ;)
