As Sacha says, this could be because somebody has set the immutable bit for that file (or it got set accidentally as a result of filesystem damage). Alternatively, is it possible that /var is mounted read-only for some reason? Or that permissions on /var/log/messages have been set very peculiarly? -- Cheers, kill -9 them all.
