Doing an su to root did not help:

[chris-RMRJWkH6aXE at public.gmane.org chris]$ su
Password:
[root-RMRJWkH6aXE at public.gmane.org chris]# rm -r /mnt/floppy/*
rm: remove write-protected regular file 
`/mnt/floppy/apr2004disbursejournal.xls'? y
rm: cannot remove `/mnt/floppy/apr2004disbursejournal.xls': Read-only 
file system
