running backup with deja-dup-preferences as root over ssh

Hi,

I found the gui very nice of deja-dup to do backups
unfortunately I can't do /etc backups without root so i tried
gksu and gksudo

which seems fine at first but backuping remotly to ssh wont work since it uses
sshfs over gvfs, but insted of mounting the remote folder it only creates a folder sftp:/user@host/root/home/... and backups all the files in this folder locally (and filling up my disc...)

i checked
journalctl -xe

and found this error right after the backup now is clicked:

org.gtk.vfs.Daemon[4364]: A connection to the bus can't be made

so does anyone know a workaround to allow root to connect to the gvfs bus....
It works fine as my user (only that It cant read a lot of /etc folders)
