Is it an Incoming Folder?

If so, I had the same problem on PMDF Pine.  I solved it by exiting Pine, 
and starting up $ MAIL, and deleting it from there.
Pine won't let you delete a folder it can't open. - which is bad news if 
you type the wrong stuff into the incoming folder creation sequence...:-)

You can also get that if it's a subdirectory; Pine displays it like a 
folder, but it can't open a subdirectory.
