I'm also not convinced that running as root would be advisable. I think the question here is why the situation changed from 11.10 to 12.04. I suspect the problem is not actually with Déjà Dup, but with a change in permissions with how diverse files are generated. I would have preferred to file this as a system bug, but the only clear module to report against was the backup utilities.
