I've got an error with your script with the Debian-Med packages:
err 67: User root is not registered to any CDD
^^^^
Note: The user which causes the trouble is printed only with my last commit
to the CVS.
I guess user root has to be excluded from any user menu update. If I understand
you right if the script is called by root, all CDD users user menu should be
updated but root should not be a CDD user at all (perhaps we should even
check this if it was set by chance).

Fixed in unstable.
BTW, I filed the lintian bug regarding update-menus false warnings.
You might check the cdd scripts using the stuff in the med/ tree from
CVS. You get a tarball by using
make -f debian/rules dist
(as well as you get the tarball for cdd by this method).
Kind regards
Andreas.
