(The proper translation there is "owner"; the closest-by-derivation English
word would be "proprietor", and "proprietary" has a meaning which is rather
confusing when used in this context!)

Are you doing this as an administrator? If so, the Finder should be asking
for your administrator password in order to move it ... although this has
in the past been rather buggy. I prefer using sudo and something that is
guaranteed to copy everything appropriately (ditto or rsync; not cp and
most certainly NOT tar!).

Just moving a Time Machine backup database around can be difficult anyway
because Time Machine sets custom ACLs on everything in it.
