I even tried to delete via ftp after changing the ownership from nobody to
that username.  No luck.
Had to su from admin to root.  Any idea what could be wrong??

FTP normally does a chroot to the home directory of the user who
logs in or perhaps a couple of levels up. Even if the ownership of
the file has been changed, if it's not in or below the spot in the
file system where the user's chroot'ed to, the file won't be visible
to them.
