E:Can't chown/mod/mod /system/

wasn't sure where to post this since i wasn't getting any responses in the Q&A section but i keep getting this error

E:Can't chown/mod/mod /system/
(No such file or directory)
E:Failure at line 343:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0755 0644 SYSTEM:

Installation aborted.

is my system memory full? Is this fixable? I'm unable to flash almost any rom with the exception of cyanogen nightlies and Leofroyo Beta3. Is this because these betas and nightlies write files that aren't written by finished roms? Thanks.

What recovery are you using? If you aren't using Amon_ra's try that.

Anybody? Seems like maybe i partially lost root access? Would a re-root help?

Same probem here

Same problem here I have a Droid X2 with 2.3.4 and am able to root use OTA ES File and can write to /system from ES File Explorer. But when I go to upload ROM o it I get the same error. I already tried 3 different ROMs all with same perms error. What's Up?

I found out my issue was that I had a backup of su using the OTA Rootkeeper. I deleted the su backup and then the ROM install worked perfect.
