In setting up Bastille you must have selected the option to disable suid or 
usrctl, I can't remember which it is, but in so doing, the access to a root 
console through su is halted.  I would reconfigure and be very careful to not 
answer "yes" when it asks questions something like  "may we disable  this 
process or that process?"  Also do not select file size limitations as yes 
because that will also stop access to su console.   HTH
