thanks to all the replies I received. I found out that
if a script is set setuid it is actually run as the real user and group
ids. To get around this use the p option, e.g.:
#!/bin/sh -p

If the -p flag is present, the shell will not set
the effective user and group IDs to the real user
and group IDs.
