Well i finally get the solution......u have to use the "su" command to login as root and then have to change the permissions for the folder (in my case its data). Once done that then you can easily move files using the eclipse DDMS from the Android Dev Phone 1. But remember you also need to change the permissions for the file that you want to copy from the device....And the "pull" and "push" commands only work outside "su" so you have to change permissions using "su" and den try "pull" or "push".
Thanks a lot to Jean-Baptiste Queru who helped me with su.
