Huh.  Now that's just insane.  I added /etc/sudoers.d/marius file with a 
COPY&PASTE line from sudoers and the blasted thing works.  Can /anyone/ 
explain that? I still don't like the fact that editing sudoers doesn't 
seem to work for me, but I'm reconciled to leaving it as is now.
Thanks to everyone for allowing me to beat my head against the wall over 
this.
