Old game won't publish in new GS

I have a game I made about 3 years ago, still loads and plays fine in the newest GS but when I go to publish it, it says I don't have the rights to remove file. I checked (many times and even through CHMOD) I have full rights. I saved the project as a new project, quit, reloaded the newly made project file, same results.
“GameName.gameproj” couldn’t be removed because you don’t have permission to access it.
How can I publish my old game to the new arcade and to app store? I want to fix some stuff and update, but can't.

Could it have anything to with I was pro when i made the app and I currently am not a pro member? It does contain tweet sheet that I would need Pro for anyway, but that's not the error I'm getting...
I can publish new projects.
I am on OSX 10.9.3
Using latest GS 0.11.0.13 beta (It asked me to upgrade today when I launched GS)
I noticed another oddity that may lend a clue as to what is going on.
Every time I save the project it updates the time stamp on the .gameproj file and creates a random named folder in the same directory like zLTzFEft.sb-d8723f0b-y6ZQNF
Every save a new folder, the new folder contains the projects:
so everything from the .gameproj bundle except:
Just a stab in the dark here as I've no idea of the issue your having but Have you changed your GS account? Your showing as been a member for 2 years but your game was made 3 years ago? If so make sure your logging into your old account. I'd also try logging out of creator (not your profile) and logging back in.
Game is probably 2.5 years old, probably not quite 3rd anniversary yet. Same account only this one.
I upgraded my mac and did the migration wizard to migrate my old account to this new Mac. None of the games created on the old Mac will publish. All get the same rights issue.
I've checked the right, unlocked, signed in/signed out. Looked in all the .xml files they all have newest build tagged up top. Ran disk util to ensure disk was good and permission on the rest of disk were good.
I can do anything accept publish old code, new code created on this new machine publishes fine.
Have you made a new certificate when you got a new computer? If so this is your problem. You need to sign it with the old certificate.
I finally fixed it, not sure why but I had to give full rights to "everyone" to the gameproj file, then it works as it should. My user has full admin rights so not sure where the disconnect was. I took the random folder it contents it kept creating and the missing info from package, made my own .gameproj package and it publishes fine if I give the user everyone full rights.
I just started to get this problem after using SugarSync. I did the GetInfo and gave everyone R/W and also did a chmod -R +rwx on the project file and all contents. Still I get the same problem. Anyone else resolve this issue?
Solved it. I had to chmod the parent folder where the project resides.
