Either reorder PATH or use the whole path to the executable! Or use a shell 
alias...

It won't work with the NS and "AppKit" variants (do you know of any "native" 
mac OS X GUI application that you can launch with sudo and then runs with 
elevated privileges?), it works with the X client and also without windowing 
system (in terminal).
