can't restore an item from home folder in time machine ?

[mr.tolgao]

Hello All,

Today, I wanted to restore a movie from iTunes folder in my Home Folder in Time Machine. And I was surprised that all folders of my Home Folder were grayed out in Time Machine. So, I wasn't able to restore from my Home Folder.
I am using Time Capsule as my Backup solution. I can choose all other folders and items other then my Home Folder. Why do you think this happens ? It is really disappointing that not being able to anything from my Home Folder. I searched on the net but could not find anything regarding this issue. Is there any fix for that ? or Do I have to reinstall Lion again ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tolga

What happens if you navigate to your iTunes Movies folder in Finder then hit the Time Machine dock icon to launch time machine?
