Did you re-source .profile or log off and back on?

Check /etc/passwd and make sure root's shell is sh.

from /.profile
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/local/bin:/etc:/usr/ccs/l
ib:.
export PATH
MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/local/man
export MANPATH

it just doesn't seem to be peicking it up :(

  /.profile is owned by root.
