This isn't a Deja-Dup issue. Those dirs shouldn't be owned by root.

You can run this command to take ownership back:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.dbus ~/.config/enchant/

This will fix the immediate issue, but since we don't know the cause, the issue may return. Did you make any changes recently that might have caused this? Where you're able to run ls on the dirs without sudo, that means you're running a root shell. That may be related. Update: OP actually is using sudo.
