Bug Description
I didn't check UTAH source code so bear with me if there is too much guessing here.
My tc_control file has something like this:
run_as: jenkins
However it looks like that utah runs the tests as jenkins using a plain sudo/su as e.g. $HOME expands to /root rather then to ~jenkins. This confuses the tests (as well as me).
I think adding "-i" to the sudo command would be a better semantics for something that is called "run as: jenkins".

I'll add this to an existing bug we have for this issue. For autopilot tests, we're currently working around it with run_as: root and using an su in the command, but correct environment inheritance is something we intend to implement.
