Turns out, for us non command line junkies that Windows' latest file system, NTFS, is readable but not writable on our beloved Mac OSX.
Never fear - a quick bit of Twitter research yielded the following results. Thank you kindly to the respondents...
GeekRebel: @woganmay @andyhadfield Mac can write NTFS with this very nifty fix: http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
WillemvZyl: @G_Masta @woganmay @andyhadfield @stii Actually, Mac can write to NTFS, just follow these instructions: http://tinyurl.com/ntfs-macosx
Igitur: @andyhadfield Try this maybe http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
Those are the links...
My personal favourite was from Wogan May. I learnt my lesson a long time ago. You don't sudo with shit you can't unsudo. (For the glazed eyes out there - Sudo is an extremely powerful but extremely dangerous command line function for performing bad things at a super user level)
WoganMay: @andyhadfield Maybe if you launch Finder with root permissions, or use "sudo rm filename.doc" in the terminal?
