Hi Bernard
Don't worry. I guess since August 2012 Moz has some access issues to Google Adwords API. Hope the team is building a better replacement for this.

RE: Will creating sub folders for foreign versions of the website, remove rank juice from the main site?
Hi James
Hope you are planing to target users for different languages or countries. You can achieve this by adding rel="alternate" hreflang="x" annotations in sitemap
Using rel="alternate" hreflang="x"
Using rel="alternate" hreflang="x" anotations in sitemap to tell Google that there is different versions of same website exist on the web. Otherwise Google will consider it as duplicate content and block it from SERP
Example Steps
- For your German version of your website create a sub-folder like www.example.com/de/
_- Now you need to create a XML sitemap for this and you can name it as _languages.xml
_- Upload the sitemap and tell Google where it is located _through Google Web Master Tools

RE: competitor sites link to a considerable amount of irrelevant sites/nonsense sites that seem to score high with regard to domain authority
It will take 1 week - 4 week to recover the value from 301'ed URLs
I remember when Rand Fishkin 301ed his old domain to http://moz.com/rand/ it took 7+ days for him to recover
See Rands tweets regarding this

RE: Roger found Duplicate Page Content, but all my pages are canonicalized
Hi Lucian Sava
I was just gone through you website and found that your website is using 3 domains for different languages (English, Hungarian & Romanian) and each domain is also hosting another duplicate sub-directory version of other languages
So, These are the 3 domains
English: http://starshiners.co.uk (Having another 2 versions)
Romanian: http://starshiners.ro (Having another 2 versions)
Hungarian: http://starshiners.hu (Having another 2 versions)
I'm giving a short name for each versions bellow
Domain .CO.UK
-
A-EN http://starshiners.co.uk (Original)
Domain .RO
-
B-RO http://starshiners.ro (Original)
Domain .HU
-
C-HU http://starshiners.hu (Original)
Now just taking English website as an example (CO.UK)
A-EN rel=canonical to A-EN (Itself)
A-HU rel=canonical to C-HU
A-RO rel=canonical to B-RO
In this case I guess Roger will consider A-HU & A-RO as the duplicate of A-EN (Which is rel=canonical to itself and all others are rel=canonical to external)
The situation will be same for other two domains (.RO &.HU)
It will look something like this
Original Page: http://starshiners.ro/accesorii/cercei-spelbound-turquoise
Duplicate Page: UR http://starshiners.ro/en/accesories/spelbound-turquoise-earrings
Duplicate Page: http://starshiners.ro/hu/kiegeszitok/turkiz-spelbound-fulbevalo
How to fix this? (My suggestion)
How about removing the sub-directory versions from all individual domains (I guess you prefer different domains for different versions)
For English make this domain (http://starshiners.co.uk) as default version
For Hungarian this, http://starshiners.hu For Romanian this, http://starshiners.roand link each other for different version
Also in order to avoid duplicate issues within versions use proper rel="alternate" hreflang="x"
Above are just my thoughts regarding this issue, do wait for others suggestions too
