Assuming you're already logged in as the oracle software owner, you don't
need to su to root to start OMS.  In fact, the default omsstup script
assumes it to be called from system startup (as root) and does an su to the
oracle software owner, which is defined within the script.

Judging by the error, I'm thinking your version of omsstup has been
customized (at least it doesn't match my vanilla 10.2.0.3.0 version).  I
also take it by the nature of your question that you are not comfortable
with Linux command line, or you would have determined that the omsstup file
is a script and viewed it's contents to determine the nature of the error. 
Given this, you'll want to contact Oracle Support or the person who
installed the OMS and/or customized the omsstup script (which, by the
percent signs in your error, reeks of a Windows person attempting Posix
shell programming without cracking a manual).

**GENERICALLY speaking**, to start the OMS one needs to:

1)  Define the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to be the OMS OH.
2)  Define the PATH
3)  Execute:  $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall

I'd highly Highly HIGHLY recommend that you log out of the server
immediately without proper guidance on what *not* to do at the Linux command
line prompt, wether you're logged in as root or the oracle software owner.

GL!
