This was briefly discussed in here before:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-users/2005/07/05/1
Basically, there must be another file where the "real" password hash is
stored. In fact, it is likely that there's a file per user or even a
directory per user.

Well, I think that you did not search hard enough. I don't think that
the alternate file will contain a colon after "root", or it might not
contain "root" at all (rather, "root" might be in the file or directory
name rather than inside the file).
Do you have a directory called "tcb" anywhere on the system - inside
/etc or not?
P.S. I notice that you're using the obsolete John the Ripper 1.6,
released 8 years ago. You should want to upgrade to 1.7+ and build it
with MMX or SSE2 support (if you're on x86).
Also, you did not need to use "cat" in your "grep" commands; instead you
can pass the filenames right on grep's command line.
