Using the name won't work. You need the id. Of course then you also need 
to have the user listed in the first place, which brings us to your 
other problem:

That is due to a change in RT 3.4 that requires a user to have the 
OwnTicket right (just SuperUser is not enough) to show up in the list. 
I've already filed a bug report to revert that change for other 
SuperUsers ([fsck.com #6729]), in the meantime you should just give the 
OwnTicket right to your root user.

It should just work once you get the user in the list without any 
modifications to the code.
