Unfortunately there are many ways a file can become read-only on OS X. And the Finder's permissions UI has, IMHO, never worked very well.


* In the Info panel, look whether the nib file's "locked" checkbox is on.
* Do an "ls -l" on the parent directory, and on its parent directory. Check whether the file or dir are missing "w" access. (Yes, the Finder told you this wasn't the case, but the Finder can be wrong.)
* Beyond that, there are "extended attributes" that can make a file immutable ... but I can never remember quite how they work. I think there's a flag to "ls" to display them, and there are other commands to set/clear them.
