RAID UNKNOWN – /usr/sbin/hpacucli did not execute properly : Error: The specified device does not have any logical drives.

Getting this on HP DL380G7 RHEL 5 64bit. Installed HPACUCLI 9.40 and using check_cciss.sh 1.14. did same thing on older hpacucli 8.70 and cciss.sh 1.9.
hpacucli work fine if executed stand alone. Yes sudoers has correct entry.
any help would be appreciated.
