Have you tried "sudo nano /etc/sudoers" as user instead of "sudo gainroot" ?
I doubt it will work but worth a shot. Otherwise, Rob1n's suggestion is your best bet.

I do not have a microSD cad yet to make a backup.
You do not need a microSD card since the backup can be stored on the 32gb flash memory.

No "sudo nano /etc/sudoers" doesn´t work. I tried with vim, but this shouldn´t make a difference.

That´s right. I had my N900 connected via USB, because of that the backup apps said no microSD card for backup available.
After removing the usb cable the backup is working fine.

I think i´m going to reflash the device, because any other way will take so much time to fix it.

thanks anyone!

I have the exact same problem here - but I am quite sure I only installed catorize.
Afterwards the sudoers file was corrupted.
What a pity that I haven't installed sshd server before :-(

Please post here if you have success with reflashing.
Than I'll do the same.

Yes after reflashing (warm) it works like a charm.

You should make a backup of everything before you flash your n900 because afterwards you can restore the backup and nearly everything will be like before.

Same thing here, solved it by sshing to the N900 and also running update-sudoers. That fixed it for me.
I also upgraded wizard-mounter, will report it there:
