If you manually chmod +w a file (set it as being writable) and then try to
do a p4 sync you will get this error. To avoid it don't manually chmod +w
and instead use p4 edit to tell the server you're working on the file.

You can get around the error by simply doing a p4 edit and then a p4 sync.

The other option is to set the file back to read only and do the p4 sync,
however, you may (will?) lose any changes you made to the file.

I don't know the answer to this one.
