This got fixed with latest deja-dup in precise.  The problem was that
when deja-dup needs root to fully restore files, it couldn't use the
user's mounted remote location.  So now, we don't use root for such
situations.  And the restore will fail if the user doesn't have enough
permission to write to the location.

A workaround for that is to restore to a new folder instead of on top of
original locations.

** Changed in: deja-dup (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released
