By default bash will read the ~/.bashrc file. My theory is that since you are root, and suing to a different user, it is still trying to read roots .bashrc file to which testuser does not have permission to read. Try using the command: su - testuser note the dash, so that you get into testusers environment, then it should read from that users .bashrc file. You could also use the command: sh clientLogin and then it should not try to read the ~/.bashrc file at all.
