Running a tool authorized as root

I want to run a tool that needs to be run by the root user.  I can get it to work the first time, but never after that.

How I want the app to work:
Users clicks button on UI
Have the user authenticate
Run the tool
Deauthenticate

The first time works without a problem.  However everytime after that I get the error -60031.  I /do/ want the user to authenticate everytime they click the button.  What my code basically looks like is:
     AuthorizationCreate()
     AuthorizationCopyRights()
     AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges()
     AuthorizationFree()

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kris
