MAC OS Error code -5000

I cannot save and edit files using text wrangler, text edit, or anything. I cannot rename files either. Even though I am the owner of the directory and all of the files in it.

This was a rails app that I copied from an old bad harddrive that was removed from anotehr system. I copied it directly into my home folder. The permissions read as follows.

Clifford-Rossons-MacBook-Pro:Rails cliffordrosson$ ls -l

total 0

I have tried everything from changing ownership to a temp user and moving it back to doing all sorts of chmod -R changes. I am admitedly somewhat new to Mac and OSX and rails. This seems like an insanely simple problem. What can I do to fix this? The full error code is as follows.

You do not have sufficient privileges to perform this operation (MacOS Error code: -5000)

Thanks everyone.
