my fault...i'm able to copy it using -rf with CP. So, solution given by Dick Johnson (Linux-OS) can be used, if all are unable to find what's the problem...

here's the output of the two commands you've asked for..

[EMAIL PROTECTED] usr]# ls -ld /usr/bin
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root        61440 Nov 21 20:30 /usr/bin

[EMAIL PROTECTED] usr]# lsattr -d /usr/bin
su--ia------- /usr/bin

>its not even allowing me to copy it ...then surely it wont allow me mv as
well... what else can i try...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# cd /usr
[EMAIL PROTECTED] usr]# cp bin testbin
cp: omitting directory `bin'

"cp" does not normally copy direcrories as such by DEFAULT.

Use the "-R" flag on "cp" to make it 'recurse' and copy the whole
 directory and directory/files under it.

e.g. "cp -R bin bincopy"


And, show us all the results of the following 2 commands, please.

ls -ld /usr/bin
lsattr -d /usr/bin
