Check the permissions on the directory, if the write bit is not set even
root (which you said you were doing this as) cannot write to the
directory.

What you did already was to give group and others write and read
permission. Make sure the directory is at least mode 0755.

 chmod -R 0755 /usr/local/bin

Since you are not mentioning any other errors with these commmands, I
am assuming the directory actually exists and the partition is mounted. 
(not sure why it wouldn't be but you never know)
