bug#11194: 24.0.95; sudo rm doesn't work with absolute directory paths on the file system

[Cray Elliott]

For example, if you went to eshell and typed 'sudo rm -rf /opt/folder'
it would complain about permissions being needed and wouldn't query
for password. Bug doesn't exist with relative paths. Bug does exist with 
wildcards.
