you need root access, ie: su or sudo or sux...
Patrick, with the greatest respect, if you're going to answer posts with "RTFM" as often as you do... you have to RTFWQ 8) [WQ = whole question]
I don't think this is a case of not reading the whole question, it's a case of not understanding unix permissions. Last I checked, you didn't have to be root just to cd to a directory owned by root. If that were the case, you would have some difficulty working a linux system, since just about everything is owned by root :)
