    Permission problem of superuser root

    I have a testing server, which runs an E-mail system. The platform is SUSE Enterprise 9. Now I have an intractable problem. I cannot tackle with a normal file in the account of superuser root. The errors are shown as follows('zzz' is the parent directory of the file 'Trash.mbox'):

    ll zzz
    /bin/ls: zzz/Trash.mbox: Permission denied
    chmod 777 zzz/Trash.mbox
    chmod: cannot access `zzz/Trash.mbox': Permission denied
    chown root:root zzz/Trash.mbox
    chown: cannot access `zzz/Trash.mbox': Permission denied
    lsattr zzz/Trash.mbox
    lsattr: Permission denied while trying to stat zzz/Trash.mbox

    My filesystem is ReiserFS.
    Pls. help me to find a solution.
    Thanks!
