Is this maybe related to using sudo?
I noticed that when checking the user by $USER or $EUID, the result
often is wrong, but the output of $(id -u) until now always was correct,
so directly after the sudo I would add
echo $? > id.log
id -u >> id.log
to the script. The $? to check if sudo is working and id -u to check if
it really does switch the user, assumed the output of $? should be 0.
