Are you trying to delete that file while it's in a smart playlist?  
That won't work. It's, also, the only way that I can figure that you  
are seeing that kind of behavior. I can delete at will in the  
Audiobooks playlist, my music library and any user-defined playlist  
that I have. Just right click, select "Delete", and click "Remove".  
Boom...gone!
