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 ;)
