Ah, yes I did. See thumbnails... there is a protected copy too. For whatever reason, voodoo won't restore the su binaries. Really odd. this all happened post 4.1.1 OTA today.
I am having the same issue as well.

Didn't back it up with OTA Rootkeeper. Tsk tsk
You can restore to ICS and do it over, but this time protecting root. Make sure you updated the su-binary as well... My DROID RAZR HD Utility 1.10 in this forum section has what you need.
This happened to me as well. I had rootkeeper and protected version backed up and now it's not working. It says su was moved over, but nothing changes. Anyone have any idea how to get root back?
I did what you recommended, but I wasn't able to make it work either...For people having trouble getting the "Exploit Failed" message. I fixed it eventually but I did two things and am unsure which made it work.
1) When running the batch file, I was sure to specifically hit 'Enter' when prompted to press any key
2) I uninstalled 'BusyBox Installer' and 'SuperUser' which I already had on my phone before running the batch file.
Curious, You DLed SU before rooting? Why?For people having trouble getting the "Exploit Failed" message. I fixed it eventually but I did two things and am unsure which made it work.

I followed the rooting process and i also followed the unroot process but i forgot to set file manager to r/w when i deleted the files mentioned, now i cannot get the ota update and or get root back. I dont want to get any deeper so WHAT SHOULD I DO , EASIEST??Root is already available for the Motorola Razr HD & Maxx!
I grabbed this from the Razr M forums, it will work for a variety of new Motorola Devices.
Instructions:
- Download
- Unzip
- Install Motorola Drivers
- Enable USB Debugging on Phone
- Plug Into PC
- Run The Batch File "Run"
- Follow Along the CMD Prompt for Progress & Let it Finish
- Enjoy and Hope for some Developers to Pick Up This Phone to Rom
**UPDATE**JellyBean OTA In order to update to the latest OTA without losing root you need to:
- Be Rooted on ICS
- Use VooDoo Rootkeeper to do the following
- Protect Root
- Temp Unroot
- Take the JB OTA
- Restore Root
Enjoy being both on the latest and rooted. Remember, do not just take the update without doing both those two things as there is no root exploit currently available for JB.
This is a one-click-method so all you have to do is the prerequisites and it will do the rest for you.

How to Unroot:
Thanks shabbypenguin for posting this.
You can manually unroot your Droid by using a root file manager program (such as root explorer) and mountsystem as R/W. Then delete the following:
/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/bin/su
and if it has it
/system/xbin/su
