Back up files

[Scott Blair]

I have been backing up my Home directory and have
seen that a few files and directories won't back
up. I have checked into them and found out that
the files and directories are owned by Root.
Here are the files and directories:
/home/scott/.cache/dconf
/home/scott/.dbus
/home/scott/.gconf/desktop
/home/scott/.gvfs

My questions are:
Why does Root have files and directories in my Home
section?
Will this impede a correct restore because they
are not backed up?
Can I Chown them with out any repercussions?

If I can Chown them I am not sure on the correct
way to do it.
