You need to quote the command. su reads just 1 argument after -c and
invokes the sh -c <command>. Example:

guido@solid:~$ su someoneelse -c touch asd
Password:
touch: missing file operand
Try `touch --help' for more information.
guido@solid:~$ su someoneelse -c "touch asd"
Password:
touch: cannot touch `asd': Permission denied
