Yes, if ln would work like you think it does work, it wouldn't make 
sense ;) But ln's syntax is as follows:

  ln -s original-filename link-filename

So the *link* is removed and then recreated again here. AFAIRC cdrdao 
expects the .bin name, but dvd::rip works internally with the .svcd 
extension (to distinguish images from .vcd), that's why this symbolic 
link is used here.

If you try to issue the complete ln command line from a console, do you
get the "Operation not permitted" error as well? Do you have write 
permissions in the directory 
/home/bill/Data/My_Video/MillionDollarBabe/avi/002/ ?

... just following the thread an found this reply from Mark:

If you executed this command you deleted the original image file, not 
the link (obviously Mark was fatally wrong regarding the ln syntax as 
well... ;). So you indeed need to remaster the image, if you deleted it
with this command.

But Mark's suggestions was basically right, just please try deleting the
link not the original ;)

  rm 
/home/bill/Data/My_Video/MillionDollarBabe/avi/002/MillionDollarBabe_1.svcd.bin
