Have you repaired permissions with Disk Utility?
Have you booted from your Leopard Install DVD and repaired the disk with Disk Utility?

if you are getting the error -61 code from the files then chances are some or all of the files, including the main folder itself, are locked.
to fix the problem is relatively simple, if you have a mouse and are able to right click or just get to the info of the folder/file and there is a check box at the lower end of the "General" part of the information. this has two clickable boxes, one says "Shared Folder" and the other says "Locked." deselect the "Locked" option and select the "Shared Folder" option to all folders and files with a lock and you can delete anything that once had the error -61.
