yes I can, but I wanted to do it from a shell script and
wonder why my
echo doesn't work as expected?

Perhaps sudo is not the equivalent of root or echo does not
inherit the
permission from sudo?

Have seen similar situations where sudo doesn't work but
issuing
the command from a root terminal does. You might try opening a
root terminal and running the echo command again to see if it
works,

Works from root terminal, so it must be a bug in sudo.
