I took a quick glance at the su source code, and it appears that su almost always returns "Incorrect password" on failure, even in situations where the failure is not actually due to an incorrect password (e.g. a failed PAM call). Hey, I didn't write it.
So I'm stumped; this could be anything. I'd start from square one...format, reinstall, and keep complete track of where things go wrong. My guess is that it's something simple, like a stray colon in "/etc/password" or something.
