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