When you use a variable on the command line it is expanded before the
command line is executed. So the above command is the equivalent of:

   sudo -u rocketmouse echo "/root"

Again, $HOME is expanded before the assignment is made, so that command
is the equivalent of:

   sudo -u rocketmouse HOME=/home/rocketmouse echo "/root"

So you will need to rethink many of those tests...
