I have a few files that are giving me (root) a permission denied message

they are damaged?
I had a similar problem a few years ago (eneded up to be a HW problem that
caused some corruption).
You can run Reiser has a number of options, and the file system may not be
mounted at the time. For the root file system, boot the rescue system.
The first thing I do is run with the --check option. Then I might simply run
with --rebuild-tree. Once your file system is clean, you should be able to
delete the file in question.
