Bug Description

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.

Ubuntu 10.10 (the same happened on Ubuntu 10.04 a few day ago)

Any testers of the maverick-proposed package? As this has been in -proposed for a long time already, I'll remove the proposed package soon if there is no feedback. Thank you!
