By default, root's shell is set to tcsh, and normal users' shell is set to sh. You can't use tcsh settings in sh, and vice versa. Read the man pages for sh(8) and tcsh(8) for the correct syntax to use for each.

Or change the shell of the normal user.

Or install a different shell (like zsh) from the ports tree, and use that. (But never change root's shell).
