This is the problem, in SU mode the / partition gets mounted read-only, so you 
need to remount it RW with the -u switch as stated above.

mount -a will not re-mount an already mounted filesystem only those in fstab 
that are not mounted yet.

[ btw, pam_chauthtok() is a function called by the pam_unix module AFAICT ]
