In my case the problem was that I'm having an encrypted home as I explain here 
http://pupeno.com/blog/encrypted-home-in-ubuntu-8-10 and I was basically 
forgetting to add a user contraint in /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml
So when sudoing, pam_mount tried to open, decrypt and mount the home partition 
for user root and that failed.
