It's probably the share permissions on the root namespace.
For instance, if I go to DFS Management, then directly below on the tree under Namespaces, I see my entry for my root named 'bob'. Looks like \\zman.local\bob
I'm using a domain based namespace...my domain is zman.local in this example. my root dfs space is named 'bob'. I have shared folder(s) under it where users can put content.

click on that root namespace, then click the NameSpace Servers tab on the right side pane.
Click your namespace sever that shows up and get properties of it. On the general tab is a "share permissions". You can make that read only for non-admins. Non-admins shouldn't be able to add/change content from the top of the dfs root....just the shares beneath if you want them to. I'll attach my example of what I described above.

^^ Sorted - thank you!
We have two servers with a DFS share...one of the servers had the share 'change/read' options ticked and the other was just read only.
