You are an IRC Operator. The error message (numeric 481)
"Permission Denied- You're not an IRC operator" is a bit wrong and
misleading.
It just means "permission denied", as it can happen also if you are an
IRC Operator if the ircd has certain things disabled for you.
Settings can be made avaliable just to global operators too for example.

Check config.h and recompile the IRC daemon.
Guess it's a lack of #define OPER_KILL or such.
It may also be that you are a local operator. (With 2.10 ircd you
need to #define OPER_REMOTE or else you will probably end up
being a local operator also if you have a big O:line).
