Have you created the file as root? Then it's probably owned by root, and the
   normal user simply lacks permissions to delete it.

     Hi folks,
     i want to delete a file as normal user, but i fail to do it...
     As normal user (on an ubuntu 12.04) I do:
     mkdir d1 d2 home; touch home/f1
     sudo mount -t aufs -o br=d1:home none d2
     everything is fine now, until:
     rm d2/f1
     --> I get: not possible, operation not permitted (freely translated from
     German)
     however, after that I do:
     sudo rm d2/f1
     --> works fine!!!
     sudo umount d2
     Why can't normal user do what root can?
     Thanks in advance
     Markus
