su failed for a restored V51 system

We have an system running Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1 (Rev. 732). We created a
special user foo which is allowed to becoming root.

For desaster recovery we made a backup of the system to another disk using
a script based on vdump/vrestore (something like btcreate). If we now try
to boot the backup disk, everything works fine, but user foo can not longer
use su to become root. The su-command simply returns to the shell prompt,
without any error message.

Has anyone an idea what's going wrong?

Thanks
