This one was tricky :) The reason is that nobody's login shell is /bin/false, and so su -c ... nobody refuses to work. This is fixed in current svn trunk (>=eix-0.10.6) by adding an appropriate -s parameter to su. Until next eix is out, you can work around the problem by using option -u USER where USER is some user with a login shell.
fixed in latest eix :-)
