Starting Node with God with sudo

Question

I need to start a Node.js server as the root user (using sudo) with a start param that looks like:

w.start = "sudo node #{KTHXBYE_NODE_ROOT}/poll.js"

As I am using Socket.IO and need the use of Flash Sockets (which requires Node.js to be run as root).

However, whenever I startup God, it fails to start node. I've tried running God with sudo, without sudo, as rvmsudo (as I'm using RVM to manage ruby version on my machine) and nothing seems to fix it. Anyone know of a way to run processes with sudo in God?

Thanks.
