unable to create directory in /apps

well, I'm completely stumped so I'm hopeful that someone here may have an answer...one of my development machines is running Solaris 8 and I've been trying to create a folder in /apps. it gives me this message:

mkdir: Failed to make directory "*******"; Operation not applicable

I've tried sudo, logged in as root, created the folder in a subdirectory of apps and changed all applicable rights and groups to what the user requested and I can't even move the folder to /apps...I'm assuming that an application has control of the folder and is not allowing me to manipulate it...anyone have any ideas? This is my first post and I'm a Unix convert from a MS world...

Thanks,

Joe

Not that this will help you a whole lot but a few other folks have had the same issue. A search of google revealed this link The fix was to replace the mkdir binary.
