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.
