This is because you missed the part where I said the '-' was crucial to the command. If you just use su to access the root account, then your uid changes, but it's not treated as a login shell, so you don't get the full PATH variables sourced. If you use 'su -' then it becomes a root login shell, and you get the extra goodies associated with the root account. use 'man su' to get all the details if you're curious.
