OK, someone 'splain to me why I can't change this files's permissions:

eben@pc:/export/media/mp3$ ls -ld rammstein/ rammstein/du_hast.mp3
4.0K drwxrwxr-x 2 root audio 4.0K May 29 2005 rammstein//
3.2M -rwxrw-r-- 1 root audio 3.2M Jun 27 2004 rammstein/du_hast.mp3*

eben@pc:/export/media/mp3$ groups | tr ' ' '\n' | grep aud
audio

Isn't the file's metadata writable by me, since
its group is "audio"
I'm a member of "audio"
the directory it's in has group-write permission

I firmly believed we should not march into Baghdad ...To occupy Iraq
would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world
against us and make ... a latter-day Arab hero assigning young soldiers
to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator[.] -- GHWB
