How about just using your own li'l script, and add
/bin/chmod 700 /home/$1 to it.

When su'ing, if you don't 'su -', your (root, in this case)
logon script won't be run, and so your path won't contain the
directories which have suer programs in them (sbin etc). So...'su -'
instead of just su (man su what have told you that).
