Why can't I delete this directory ?

Oracle Linux 6.4
bash shell

I am trying to remove the directory named OPatch. I am trying to run rm and rmdir commands while logged in as grid user, the owner of the directory.
But I keep getting "Permission denied" error. It is an empty directory. Any idea why I am getting 'Permission denied' error

Code:
$ pwd
/grid/product/11.2.0
$
$ ls -ld OPatch
drwxr-xr-x 2 grid oinstall 4096 Sep 30 19:22 OPatch
$
$ ls -l OPatch
total 0

$ whoami
grid
$
$ id -a grid
uid=302(grid) gid=303(oinstall) groups=303(oinstall),301(dba),302(grid),304(asmadmin),305(asmdba)
$
$ rm -R OPatch
rm: cannot remove `OPatch': Permission denied
$
$ rmdir OPatch
rmdir: failed to remove `OPatch': Permission denied
$
$ cd OPatch
$ ls
$
$ pwd
/grid/product/11.2.0/OPatch

GRID-MAPFILE-CHECK(8)						  Globus Commands					     GRID-MAPFILE-CHECK(8)

NAME
grid-mapfile-check-consistency - Add an entry to a grid map file SYNOPSIS
grid-mapfile-check-consistency [-h] [-help] [-usage] [-version] grid-mapfile-check-consistency [-mapfile MAPFILE] | [-f MAPFILE] DESCRIPTION
The grid-mapfile-check-consistency program performs basic checks for validity of a gridmap file. These checks include checks for existence, duplication of entries, and valid local user names. If the gridmap file is valid, grid-mapfile-check-consistency exits with a zero exit code, otherwise it exits with a non-zero exit code. In either case, it displays information about its progress as it parses and validates the gridmap file. By default, grid-mapfile-check-consistency will check the gridmap file named by the GRIDMAP environment variable if present. If that variable is not set, it will check the file $HOME/.gridmap for non-root users if present. If that doesn't exist or grid-mapfile-check-consistency is run as root, it will then check /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile. This can be changed by the use of the -mapfile or -f command-line options. The full set of command-line options to grid-mapfile-check-consistency are: -help, -h, -usage Display the command-line options to grid-mapfile-check-consistency. -version Display the version number of the grid-mapfile-check-consistency command. -mapfile MAPFILE, -f MAPFILE Check the gridmap file named by MAPFILE instead of the default. EXAMPLES
Check that the gridmap file in /etc/grid-security is valid: % grid-mapfile-check-consistency -f /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile Checking /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile Verifying grid mapfile existence...OK Checking for duplicate entries...OK Checking for valid user names...OK Check a gridmap file that has an invalid local user name: % grid-mapfile-check-consistency -f /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile Checking /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile Verifying grid mapfile existence...OK Checking for duplicate entries...OK ERROR: baduser is not a valid local username ERROR: Found 1 invalid username(s) ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of grid-mapfile-check-consistency: GRIDMAP Path to the default gridmap to check. FILES
The following files affect the execution of grid-mapfile-check-consistency: $HOME/.gridmap Path to the default gridmap to check if the GRIDMAP environment variable is not set for non-root users. /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile Path to the default gridmap to check if GRIDMAP environment variable is not set and the above file does not exist.
