Check your permissions. It is almost always case they are screwy.
Specifically (ALL of them):

[adam@master adam]$ ls -algd / /lib/ld-linux.so.1 /bin /bin/bash
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 1024 Dec 12 1997 /
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Sep 26 1997 /bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 300668 Sep 3 1996 /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20859 Jul 18 1997 /lib/ld-linux.so.1
