Hello,

Ok, I got it :)

I logged as bob user and then su to root. Emacs wasn't looking for 
/root/.emacs but for /home/bob/.emacs
i just linked: ln -s /root/.emacs /home/bob/.emacs

That thing it does according to the manual: 
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Find-Init.html#Find-Init
