I think you've managed to fall in the crack in the sanity of the Maemo 5 distribution: there's no built-in way to become root. This has been discussed but AFAIK not actually encountered by a normal user before. If HAM goes and can't be fixed without root privileges, flashing is the only way out.

Hopefully it won't come to that, though!
