So..... what's happening here. Are there two different root accounts? Am I missing something?
Please help and thank you ahead of time!

Yes.
The K5 (and K4) devices are dual-boot machines.
Other than the exported USB storage partition and the internal /var/local partition (both used by both systems) - each system is otherwise independent of each other.
Different kernel images and system images for the "Main" and "Diags" operating systems.
Pick one bootable system at a time to modify.
In general, you don't modify the "Diags" OS image, since it is a vital part of recovering a non-working "Main" OS image.
PS: I own a K5-Paperwhite, and the USBnetworking install works just fine - **IF** you follow the directions without making any mistakes (Hint: none of the directions involve the "Diags" OS").
