Root Rooted Desire keeps asking for Superuser permissions

I've searched high and low for a solution to this that works for me, both here and everywhere else Google would point me, but I have yet to find one that works, so I hope someone can help me.

I've an original Desire running a rooted Froyo ROM, which was rooted using unrevoked ages ago (probably a year or so no). When I originally rooted it, everything worked perfectly. A few months ago I ran the newest version of unrevoked over it again to update the recovery to the latest clockwork and it appeared to work fine, but ever since I did this the superuser app will continually pop up asking for permissions every time any app that needs root is run (sometimes MANY times, as when Titanium backup is run).

I've tried different things to see if I could fix it - clearing the data for the Superuser app, clearing the Dalvik cache, even reflashing the older clockwork recovery back onto my phone with the older version of unrevoked which originally worked, but with no luck. The phone is still S-ON, but I don't see why that would matter when I had no problems with the original rooting of the phone.

I'm stuck and am not sure where to go from here, so any advice would be very appreciated.
 
Not sure why clearing super user data didn't work. That is something that must be done after re running unrevoked. Have you tried using titanium backup to upgrade super user?

No, I've not tried that. I've used TB to back up but not much else so I wasn't aware you could use it to upgrade the SU program as well (I tried to upgrade to an updated version of Superuser off the app market and it failed to install).

I'll have a look at Titanium Backup, thanks. Any other advice would be well received too, though I'm beginning to suspect a complete wipe, re-root and new ROM might be the answer. I'd rather not do that if I didn't have to as I've been happy with the current ROM for a year now and it works perfectly ... mostly. :P
 
Okay, I was able to remove the old SU (it was version 2.2.2) using the excellent guide on these forums, and installed the su package Rastaman-FB provided above. Wiped the Dalvik cache again just to be safe and rebooted, now it looks like that worked! The new Superuser app is remembering the apps I give permissions to and doesn't keep asking me every time I run them... woo!

Thank you for your help, it is very much appreciated guys.
