I see Bob Proulx offered some great suggestions.  Here are few thoughts:

Are you running anything like selinux?

Could a clumsy rootkit have gotten into your system?

What are the permissions of files created with touch, mkdir, vi?

I'm not sure if anything bad in the filesystem could do this but
you might want to try a fsck.
