Have you upgraded Mac OS X to the "El Capitan" version?

If so, you can't modify anything in /System, /bin, /sbin, or /usr (except /usr/local) anymore, even using the root user. They are calling this "feature" as "System Integrity Protection".

I had the same problem and found this explanation here.
