Déjà Dup requests root privileges when I try to restore a backup to a
subdirectory in my $home folder. This is a user level backup, no system
files are involved, so root privileges are unnecessary.

Steps to produce:
* Create a simple backup of your Pictures folder. 
* Move away a subdirectory from your Pictures folder.
* Try to restore from the backup. Select date to restore, select "to original 
place" as location, and confirm restoration.
At this stage root privileges are requested.
