I'm too new at this to be much help, but I ran into similar problems running apps as root outside of X. A friend told me that root doesn't have the current directory in its path, (unlike DOS). So in order to run an app that is in your current directory, you have to specifiy the entire path on the command line. For example, if you're in /etc, and you want to run liloconfig, you'd have to enter /etc/liloconfig instead of just liloconfig. This may have some bearing on your problem.
