Unable to delete a file owned by myself.

Subject: Unable to delete a file owned by myself.
From: Frederick C.Lee <email@hidden>

Environment: Mac OS X 10.6.1

I'm trying to delete an empty .m4a file from my hard drive.
I'm the owner of the file.

$~/workarea/tmp:whoami
Ric

$~/workarea/tmp:ls -l
...
-rw-r--r--@  1 Ric  Ric    0 Jun  8  2004 Ric & Irina in Czech Rep..m4a
...

Here I'm trying to forcing a delete:

$~/workarea/tmp:rm -f "Ric & Irina in Czech Rep..m4a"
rm: Ric & Irina in Czech Rep..m4a: Operation not permitted


I'll try again...

$~/workarea/tmp:rm *.m4a
override rw-r--r--  Ric/Ric uchg for Ric & Irina in Czech Rep..m4a? y
rm: Ric & Irina in Czech Rep..m4a: Operation not permitted


How can I remove this file?

Regards,
Ric.
