Why don't I get an error message here?

$ ls -l test.zip
-rwx------+ 1 Administrators ???????? 1153454 Oct  5 12:49 test.zip
$ rm test.zip
$ echo $?
0
$ ls -l test.zip
-rwx------+ 1 Administrators ???????? 1153454 Oct  5 12:49 test.zip

Obviously the file wasn't removed, but rm does not give any error message.
Any idea why?

Ronald
