The routine that finds grub runs as a user, and at least on my SuSE box, grub 
is only in root's path.  Part of the purpose of the function is to make sure 
grub is actually installed.  In this routine, I don't actually run grub, I 
just want to make sure it is there and is executable by root.  Thanks for the 
extra grub path.
