Have you checked the permissions ?...

That might be why you are locked out of your own folder.  I find that 
Ubuntu likes to change its own permissions without telling me which 
sounds odd but it does do that to me.  Must be a bug in the system 
somewhere.  I got fed up with this due to editors writing back to me 
about being unable to open any work that I send them for magazines.  
Finally deleted it and put Fedora 12 in.  I was going to use openSuSE 
but the 11.2 installer refused to boot with my hardware.
