you should check the arrtibutes of the file, and more specifically the
immutable flag.

quoted from man chattr:

       A  file with the `i' attribute cannot be modified: it can-
       not be deleted or renamed, no link can be created to  this
       file  and  no  data  can  be written to the file. Only the
       superuser can set or clear this attribute.

After the immutable flag has raised (by simple user), one (including root) can
do nothing to that file.
You cannot see this attribute on the wheel by ls -l.

If this doesn't help, use an inode editor ;-)
