The problem is that you are trying to source the visudo binary like
a shell script due to the ". " before the command path.  If you run
it as:

root at nbaixlpd001a:/usr/local/sbin # ./visudo

or with a will path:

root at nbaixlpd001a:/usr/local/sbin # /usr/local/sbin/visudo

it should work as you expect.
