Actually, his original command will work. Calling su without the first 
dash doesn't transfer the current environment to the shell running
the command, while leaving the dash off does. 

The error

/root/.bashrc: permission denied 

is caused because the interchange start script su's into interch, which
can't read root's bashrc. This is only a minor annoyance in this case 
and can be fixed if you like in the interchange start script.
