What the heck is Locked referring to?

Sounds like some kind of read-only flag. You might be able to use chmod to remove it.

I thought about that, however in the Get Info window the permissions don't change when I check and uncheck the Locked checkbox. The only thing that happens is the name of the file gets grayed out in a textbox its in--preventing me from changing the file name.

Also, iPhoto had no problem copying locked .JPG files from the sd card to my computer.

I've got an idea. The docs for File::Copy move() says it copies then deletes. I noticed that iPhoto just copied--the files remain on the sd card after iphoto imports the files. So maybe that is why I got "operation not permitted"--it was the deleting that was prohibited.

I am going to take some more pictures, protect a few of them from deletion using the camera, then try to copy() the files rather than move() them.
