Hi Mike,

Code:

$ ls -l  /usr/share/backgrounds
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 15 16:07 xfce

Code:

$ ls -l  /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/
total 11964
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  435590 May  2  2014 Car.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  113462 Jun  3  2013 Cubes.jpg
.

.

Only root has write permission to this folder. Therefore only root can paste files there.
Anybody however has read permission on the files. That's the reason you can copy files from there.

So if you copy the files in a terminal you need to use "sudo". If you use the file manager you need to choose  "Open as Administrator".

Let us know if you need more detailed instructions.

Hope that helps
