I think that you've hit it on the head, so to speak. If you don't have access to write to the root directory it will not work correctly. However, my main purpose in putting the backups in the root directory were to get it out of the Users directory in case something ever happened to that whole folder. I imagine if you are able to get write access to another folder that would work great.

This is kind of why I added the source code for the project, just in case I forgot to test stuff (which I definitely did). The easiest solution for you would probably be to go into the XCode applescript and comment out all of the Entourage references. If you want to be relatively anal you could also take the Entourage button out of the GUI - then recompile and it should work for you.
