Add it to /etc/shells.  BTW, I wouldn't use tcsh as a root shell unless
you've statically linked it...to many things can go wrong otherwise, and
you'd be left without a working root account.  The best thing to do is to
leave root as /bin/csh, and then use 'su -m' to become root.  This will
allow you to become root while retaining your shell.

I hope this helps.

Later.
