It doesn't even ask you to authenticate it just says 'No'. It now refuses to move root-owned files from root-owned folders.

(I think it was in OS X 10.7 Lion that Finder stopped being so obliging. Finder would have asked him to authenticate as admin, but would then have obligingly ripped out its own guts.
