Unix permissions wacky?

Subject: Unix permissions wacky?

I have a file that has permission to read for "other", but I can't copy the file, I get a permission error.

I must be confused

    Permissions:    -rw----rw- (606)
    Owner:    0 - root
    Group:    501 - steve

The file is owned by root, but clearly set for others to read.

The Finder, cp, and other file copying tools give me an error saying I don't have permission to read.

Why is this?
