Error with trigger trying to stop Account ownership change

I'm testing a trigger to see if I can block a user attempting to change the owner of an account.  The trigger below is as simple as I can make it, and I receive the error message shown below.  I'm assuming that the error is occurring because account ownership is changed on the view screen, and not the edit screen.  I'm assuming something similar would occur if this type of trigger were attempted on a recordtype change.
 
Thanks for any assistance!

trigger ChangeAccountOwnerCheck on Account(before update) {
  if (Trigger.old.OwnerId != Trigger.new.OwnerId)
  {
       Trigger.new.OwnerId.addError('Customer ownership is managed by SAP.  Please contact Master Data to make this change.');
  }
}

  if (Trigger.old[0].OwnerId != Trigger.new[0].OwnerId)

I used the same code for checking it on opportunities but it gives the following error.

System.DmlException: Update failed. First exception on row 0 with id 006T0000002msNlIAI; first error: FIELD_CUSTOM_VALIDATION_EXCEPTION, You cannot change the record owner: [OwnerId]

I deactivated all validation rules on opportunity but still i get this one.

Thanks in advance for any help.
