When the backup root (i.e., live data) is accessed over sftp, obnam
queries the _local_ system for the names of the user and group. This
is going to result in bad data. In this case, unless it can query
the remote server, it should just not store the username and groupname
at all. --liw

Fixing this is going to require an obnam server mode, where the remote
side is also running obnam, and we can query that for stuff. But then
SFTP as a whole will be unnecessary. --liw
