Really curious. Look:

[root at amd64-3000 development]# rpm -qif /usr/bin/magicdev
file /usr/bin/magicdev is not owned by any package
[root at amd64-3000 development]# rm -f  /usr/bin/magicdev
rm: cannot remove `/usr/bin/magicdev': Operation not permitted
[root at amd64-3000 development]# chmod 777 /usr/bin/magicdev
chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/bin/magicdev': 
Operation not permitted
[root at amd64-3000 development]# mv /usr/bin/magicdev .
mv: cannot move `/usr/bin/magicdev' to `./magicdev': 
Operation not permitted
