/home/sites/home/users/admin is for the admin user
/root is for the root user. The admin and root are really two different users, on cobalts they only happen to have the same password (assuming you use the GUI to change the password)

If you look in /etc/passwd , you will see the home directory of each user. So you probably want to edit or create this file in both of these directories.
