    Sounds to me like you're not root.

    Try loggin into a blank terminal as root and try again.

    Good luck

    This may be true, but i agree with kriss. Try logging into a terminal as root. Not a guarantee, but if u ever have probs accessin stuff sayin permission denied, go for it logged in as root, not a user then su to root.
