I have an IMac Snow Leopard 10.6.8 I have several folders that I created. I put them in Trash and attempted "secure empty". After proceeding to empty for a short while I received this message: "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items". I then secure emptied the files in the folders. When I tried again with the empty folders I received the same message. In the five years I've had this computer I've never had this experience.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Thank you very much. I've isolated the few files and folders where I've had this issue, so it's really not causing me a problem at present. I read the article you suggested. When I feel comfortable with the repair process I may try it. Keeping in mind the law of unintended consequences.
