This is your problem. When you run rancid manually you provided the full
path. When you ran clogin manually, you provided the full path.

When rancid-run calls rancid which calls clogin, it does not provide the
full path.

What you need to do is define $PATH to include the location of the
*login scripts (/usr/libexec/rancid apparently) in the login shell of
the user rancid runs as.

Incidentally, you are doing your tests as root. You should not run
rancid as root, rather run it as a rancid user
