Answer 1

I ran into this problem when pasting at folder with subdirectories into my working copy using my FTP client - I knew I screwed up as soon as I hit the transfer button... the perils of working way too late.

I tried all the suggestions above and other found online to no avail. Every option produced the error that my directory was locked and the operation could not be performed.

I went into my Time Machine copy, restored the directory and was good to go. I cleaned the working copy as a precaution, updated my files properly and was back in business.
