Matching Defaults entries for pi on raspberry-pi:
     env_reset, mail_badpass,
secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bi 
n,
     env_keep+=NO_AT_BRIDGE, env_keep+="http_proxy HTTP_PROXY",
     env_keep+="https_proxy HTTPS_PROXY", env_keep+="ftp_proxy FTP_PROXY",
     env_keep+=RSYNC_PROXY, env_keep+="no_proxy NO_PROXY"

User pi may run the following commands on raspberry-pi:
     (ALL : ALL) ALL
     (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Given that, I don't see what you would have me do. I'm sure it all seems 
obvious to you, but if "pi" can do everything, why doesn't the command run?
