I can connect via sftp using BBEdit with the root account. It
works fine for me.

There are two protocols that use the term SFTP. They are
generally distinguished as 'sftp' vs 'SFTP' but that is still
very ambiguous. The one of interest, and the one BBE is using is
the ssh variant. It is the sftp protocol inside an ssh tunnel.
If you can ssh to the machine as root, then you should be able
to connect as root from with BBEdit.

I can, so that's at least one. I throw a question back; are you
able to connect as root (without password) via ssh from the
command line?
