execve and friends, which I'm pretty sure
AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges uses under the hood, does not do
wildcard expansion. This is done by the shell, and execve doesn't call
the shell, it runs the executable in question. However, if you used
the command name as an argument to the shell, then you could get what
you want.
