Hey HaZ -- works here (both root and sudo) with a recent nmap svn.

 -A is run all scripts, os detection, version detection, script scanning
and output - this definitely requires root

I'd suggest checking the nmap list (
http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev), or ping the authors
through the mechanism they specify in the book.
