showing us line 13 of /root/.bashrc would seem the logical thing to do really. but that looks like it DID work.

Try:
Open your /root/.bashrc using text editor and try to Comment Out ( # ) before anything in line 13.
Logout and login, then issue the command you want: ~~# su me

The bash debugger has clearly pointed from where it complains.

Good luck.
