Works fine for me on 2008 so I assume some local setting which
disallows this. Did you remove the "Back up privileg and directories"
privilege from the admin's account, by any chance?
The info from "whoami /all" indicates that you are correct but this
is appears to be the default as I'm not aware of any changes I've
made in this area
