I think it breaks because it blocks with a USSD request immediately after being started. Where /etc/sudoers is not modified it will wait indefinitely for a password.
I notice that you use sudo for sending the AT commands. Maybe a better way is to setuid root pnatd. My USSD Pad does this in the postinst script, so that regular users may use it. This shouldn't be a bigger security hole than explicitly enabling pnatd for passwordless sudo.
