Sven,

Thanks for the tip.  I was running in staff_r when I got the denials.  I
thought I read somewhere that staff was allowed to su, so never thought
the difference of when I entered the newrole to be that significant. 
Anyway, I'll call newrole first but it still appears as though I need to
keep the calls to pam_selinux out of the su file as it fails when they
are in.  Also pam_xauth doesn't appear as though it's able to play with
selinux, at least not inside the su file.
