Need help with build.prop.

I have an Aria that is rooted. I'm having problems with my proximity sensor because I probably damaged it replacing my digitizer screen. I'm trying to edit build.prop to uncomment the gsm.proximity.enable=false line in the file. I can adb pull it just fine over to my computer and edit the file in word pad, simply removing the # out from in front of the line in the file. However, when I try to push the file back over using adb, I get this:

failed to copy 'build.prop' to '/system/build.prop': Directory not empty

Is this because the build.prop file is a read-only file?

I'm using clockwork recovery. Went into partitions and mounted the /system folder. In CMD prompt, typed in adb pull /system/build.prop. No problem. File came over JUST FINE to my desktop computer. I editted the file. That's when I get the push problem. So I tried to see what would happen if I just created a random .txt file. random.txt. I tried to push it to the /system folder using "adb push random.txt /system/random.txt and got this:

failed to copy 'random.txt' to '/system/random.txt': Out of memory

What the heck is going on?

Then I tried going into the shell and chmod'ing the system folder and build.prop to 777 and STILL I can't push the damn thing over. I'm getting sick of having to remove my battery to end a phone call every time I receive one because my proximity sensor immediately turns off the screen and it never comes back on. UGH!!

Thanks in advance for the feedback anyone can give me.
