[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winchendonsprings:
Somehow I lost root access. I am using the new official cyanogen rom. I think it happened while installing busybox 1.18.2 via Busybox Installer. I had 1.18.4 and was downgrading to 1.18.2 for use of the SuperCharger scripts.

Here is some info on the state of my root and busy box.

###############ROOT
