Let me suggest a completely different approach.

NTBACKUP can read any file regardless of its ownership and permissions.

NTBACKUP can then restore the files wherever you want, and whether to
restore the original ownership and permissions is optional.

Further, ROBOCOPY (a Resource Kit utility, free) has an option (maybe /B)
that gives it the same super-powers as NTBACKUP, when run by an
administrator.
