Not sure if this is correct explanation but when you login as ssh I believe
your doing it initially as normal user. When you do just su your not
getting the full root profile so therefore your not getting it's path
properties and having to use /sbin or /usr/sbin in front of the command.
I believe if you use "su -" that will give you full root properties and
therefore those path's would work.
Hope that works and is understandable.
