I’m having the same issue trying to delete a page. I just went through the 2.0.3 upgrade on one site and had moved wp-admin wp-include and wp* in the main folder got moved to a bkp folder (wp-content overwrote everything) unfortunately, so I’ve had to recopy my template and plugin files. But, now that I’ve got everything straight, I can’t delete a testing page that I wrote after the upgrade. (I’m logged in as admin…) I saw a reference when this has come up before that perhaps not all the wordpress files had been removed before upgrade, but it seems that was fairly thoroughly done.
I did the database upgrade on login, everything LOOKED to go correctly.
I’ve even gone through a second time and blew EVERYTHING away and re-copied the files and that doesn’t seem to do it. I thought maybe there was a browser cookie issue, tried another browser to login, still no luck. Any other suggestions would be welcome.
BTW – I did a workaround on this particular page by going into phpmyadmin which may not be an option for everyone…. I selected my site’s database, then the wp_posts table. Then navigated to the post number (which displays next to a post or page entry in the list), then dropped that one from the table. (Posts and pages are treated the same in the database.)
I’ve got the same problem after an upgrade from 2.0.2 to 2.0.4.
A little more searching turned up this semi-solution, which worked for me…

@gpsmapper – the error, and semi-solution, would indicate you’re at 2.0.3, not 2.0.4. That was a known issue for .03
If you login as admin and look at the bottom of any admin page, what WP version is listed there?
Sorry, deleted my previous reply.. if you DO have 2.0.3, you could try this:

But, if you have 2.0.4..I’m not sure then. =/

Just woke up not long ago.. half of brain is still in bed lmao!
I upgraded TWO different WordPress sites today. Both from 2.0.2 to 2.0.4, and I am having the same problem. Can’t delete any links at all.
I just get the message “You don’t have permission to do that.”
EDIT: I am also having trouble getting the comments numbers updated after I deleted all the comments. Maybe there’s a permission problem somewhere?
I don’t know. I’m really in the dark here. But it’s kinda frustrating really after doing the upgrade.
EDIT 2: I can’t delete anything at all infact. Categories, posts, comments. Nothing. That makes this quite a big problem.
Too late to edit, but I’ve found a (weird) solution to this. When I log-in with another browser, I can delete just fine.
Seems to be browser/cookie related, or something.
EDIT: Tried deleting all cookies in FireFox. No luck. Seems I have to do all my deleting in Opera from now on. Which kinda sucks.
larscsim: if you by chance are using zonealarm pro or suite, check out their forum for a quasi-solution.
The real solution (if you’re using ZA pro or suite) is to go back to ZA free….
I experienced this same problem, immediately after upgrading from 2.02 to 2.04.
It looks like a Firefox-related problem — I was also able to delete links by logging in with a different browser; in my case IE6.
lotzwe – have you cleared FF cookies and cache and tried logging back in?
