Yes it is the shell command. -c with su if used after user name (nullmail) 
ends up being passed to the shell. So read the shell's man page for -c 
instead of su's man page.

I think the reason that the -x was ignored in your earlier test was 
because the sh-bang line was never used (see run_rc_script function in 
/etc/rc.subr).

Maybe you need to add the -x to /etc/rc itself.
