Odd - just cut/pasted your command line to check - I usually just run
mkgrubmenu with no arguments. Works fine either way for me. Did you
perhaps "su" rather than "su -" or log in on a VC to become root? Just
using su does not give root's paths such as /sbin and /usr/sbin, rather
just inherits the user's environment. Glad the interactive stuff
worked.
