Check if you have the proper read/write preferences as user for that folder.

there is no recovery tool as such but there a few packages which allow backup and restore option. B]Keep[/B], its kde's backup/restore tool. PartImage.. its for creating image of whole system....is there any file recovery tool in linux such that we can get already cutted file.
Linux always create backup files... look for filename~ in the same folder....
post the contents of /etc/fstab file and output of "fdisk -l" command . its small "L" . you must be root to execute this command.
