I am wondering if this really isn't a case of needing to do SUID Scripts.
And if an SUID wrapper would not be the answer?

If you're interested at all in security, I'd advise strongly against
trying to use SUID to achieve this. There is a
config, have you looked at your system
logs to see if sudo is complaining about anything? Are you using
visudo to edit the file? I think it's best to use that instead of
editing it directly.
