Actually, it looks like the su command runs successfully, since you do become root. The error may be caused by something in root's .bashrc, which is called after starting a non-login shell. Can you paste the contents of that file?

In which case you'd want to put the fortune command in either /etc/profile (for everyone) or /root/.bash_profile, unless you actually do want a fortune each and every time you su to root.
