Why can't I read or write a file whose owner is root and permission is 707 in Terminal.app on Snow L

This is what happens - but why?
liuxiang@MacBookPro: ~/casecode/sh $ ls -l sa
-rwx---rwx 1 root admin 55 10 21 00:07 sa
liuxiang@MacBookPro: ~/casecode/sh $ cat sa
cat: sa: Permission denied
liuxiang@MacBookPro: ~/casecode/sh $ date >> sa
-bash: sa: Permission denied
liuxiang@MacBookPro: ~/casecode/sh $ ./sa
-bash: ./sa: Permission denied
