Error when publishing: Unable to add file 'xxxx'. Access is denied

I'm getting this error when I try to publish. Not on all files, just on a handful.

Unable to add file 'webservices\initial_audit_svc.asmx'. Access is denied.

I checked the properties to make sure they're not "read only", and they're fine.

Can anyone think of any other reason why I might get this error while publishing?

If anyone ever experiences this, I finally discovered the answer.

The files were marked as "Read-Only" on the server I was publishing to, and not my local version. No idea how that happened. Also, 2 of them were marked as "Block", so I had to unblock them. All of this was found on the Properties popup for the file on our Production server.
