This link should help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106237

The most relevant part is:

"If the item you are trying to unlock is a folder,use these steps:

Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities).
Type this, followed by a space: sudo chflags -R nouchg
Drag the folder you would like to unlock into the Terminal window.
Press Return.
Enter your password and press Return."

Hope this helps.
