You might want to use ls -lO to see if any special chflags have been set 
to prevent the deletion of the files or directory.  From man ls(1):

  -O      Include the file flags in a long (-l) output.  the chflags(1) 
options show up as - or + signs.

I'm using FreeBSD but, I think, Ubuntu supports the same ls(1) options.
