...and on the off chance that your sys admins avoid the chance for an
on-site walk by hacker to set uid quickly by relocating the true command
used to do this from its normal location, leaving a reporting, somewhat
emasculated version it its place, you'll need to consult with them to get
the command actually run effectively even from root. Most sys admins are
pretty good about not leaving root windows up while AFK, but the best ones
know that sooner or later they will leave one up (Wow! look at the bald
eagle soaring over the parking lot!), so a few critical commands are stashed
in non-obvious locations.
... but probably Mladen hit the nail on the head.

Well you should be running "root.sh" as user root, as the name suggests.
Nobody else has enough privilege to make setuid executables.
