"rm" not working bash shell user


Hello
In a new installation of amd64 testing (wheezy), conserving the raid1 partitions and the content of my home, command "rm" does not work for me as user. It works as superuser.

The installation was carried out first as stable (squeeze), only system, then upgrading to testing, then installing gnome-core, then installing additional programs that I needed. The system boots at the linux prompt. Then, startx, followed by gnome-session, when I need graphical application.

I don't know how to treat this problem of permissions (udev has no hindering for user, while $PATH is exported correctly for all programs I use).

Thanks for suggestions

Please copy and paste from a command prompt session as user, showing:
  1. a sample rm command and the error message.
  2. a type rm command and its output.

Thanks for 'type rm'. It was badly spelt in .bashrc aliases.
