I was more brief than I should have been...and maybe a bit inaccurate.
I should have said....
Try running
sudo sh -c 'lvdisplay'
and think about it a moment and look at the following.....
[gnomer@f12 ~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/local/bin:

A script is in /home/gnomer/bin called xmee which executes another
program called iko. iko is located in /usr/local/bin.
[gnomer@f12 ~]$ cat bin/xmee
iko
[gnomer@f12 ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/iko
echo "I'm in usr local bin"
[gnomer@f12 ~]$ xmee
I'm in usr local bin
[gnomer@f12 ~]$ sudo xmee
sudo: xmee: command not found
