Lost root access?

Guys

I don't get this at all, can anyone please help out?

I have a Nexus One. Have been running Cyanogen since purchase, upgraded to 5.0.6-N1 few weeks ago. Obviously, root access and all that. Just a few days ago, I backed up the device with nandroid and flashed it with a Enoc theme. That also went well, but I suddenly noticed apparent lack of root access. Apps that require it wouldn't work (like QuickBoot, MarketEnabler). So I wiped the device and flashed with a clean 5.0.6-N1 and restored the backup prior to theme update, but now I cant get the root access back no matter which backup I restore (even older ones).

Any clues on what might have caused it? I cant think of any indications that the theme update might have anything to do with it, but that is pretty much only update I've done to the phone.

Thanks

Hey, thanks for the reply. I don't have any recovery image.

I just tried booting in recovery mode, wiping the phone and then flashing with the Cyanogen 5.0.6. That should get me a fresh install on which I then apply a nandroid restore of the OS prior to the theme update I mentioned above.

Besides, I see that applying the recovery image via terminal starts with 'su' command. That one gives me 'permission denied' after my problem occured. Its almost as if my phone wasn't rooted at all, which it definetly is.
