On my wife's phone after the OTA and unrevoked method, I rooted it using this method and I couldn't see the Superuser Permission either, until I flashed a custom rom.
I would suggest, if you're rooted, do the new auto-recovery step that I described, then do the back up and install a rooted rom.
You can install a custom rooted rom like OMJ's which works great or you can just install the stock rom that you have now, but the rooted version.
There's a thread on XDA that has all the links --

If you just want stock, I would suggest the "Stock with Root OTA update1" that way you have everything you see now plus the OTA is done and it's rooted w/ superuser permission app.

Can I use a nand backup created from another evo? Did it save a file to my PC, or is it on my evo somewhere?
Thanks.

That's a lot of "One question"
1- Did it make a backup of the rooted rom? -
Yes
2- Can I go back into recovery and make another backup? -
Yes
3- and will it backup all my apps and current settings? -
I don't know what is being backed up
4- Can I use a nand backup created from another evo? -
no clue, but that's currently being discussed here - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=124539 starting at post #15
5- Did it save a file to my PC, or is it on my evo somewhere? -
Your sdcard in a folder called Nandroid
Sorry I can't be more help. I learned this stuff on Friday after I got my Evo. I read everywhere that a nand backup is a good idea and toast says to do it in his instructions so I did it. Apparently, something is being saved and as things progress on the development side, that backup will be useful for us. For now, I'm clueless.
