That line looks correct, perhaps there is another sudoers line
that is overriding it.  What does the output of "sudo -l" show?

Note that you can change the environment handling to be more like
versions of sudo prior to 1.6.9 with a line like:

Defaults !env_reset

in sudoers, though there are security consequences.  The "SECURITY
NOTES" section of the manual talks a little bit about this.
