   Honestly, from your description, it sounds like a file permissions issue.   
      
   Do an 'ls -l' on the file and see who it belongs to.   
      
   Output should look something like this:   
   -rw-r--r--  1 gandalf gandalf       1359 Jul 29 21:18  slack   
      
   If your username isn't shown in the first owner's field, change   
   ownership to you using the 'chown' command.   
      
   Hopefully you can make some progress with this.
