I found it, at least I did here Anne.  It seems that if you are logged 
in from a password login as the user amanda, then /usr/local/sbin IS 
NOT in the $PATH, see my other private message.

I also posted both here and on the fedora list as to why /usr/local/bin 
is not in a normal users $PATH.  In any event, I added it to the 
~/.bash_profile and it survives doing an 'su - amanda' now.

But my real question is: whyinhell ain't it in a normal users $PATH in 
the first place?  Boggles this mind, thats for sure...
