And on re-reading that msg, I dropped the ball totally.  You said 
you'd logged in as SU, so this would be the user provided the user SU 
had been added. SU as a user, will be an unpriviledged user, hence 
the no permissions errors for a lot of stuff.

What the advice really meant I'd wager, is to log in as yourself, and 
when you need to do roots work, do an su -, answer the password 
request properly, and if successfull you will then have root 
permissions you don't have now.
