The device is rooted, of course. I was following rooting and market installation instructions word-for-word, and this is the first bump Ive hit. In the app folder, I do mount it as read-write. After that, I attempt to copy vending.apk, and also com.amarket.apk as well, unsuccessfully. Ive even tried moving a random empty folder into the app folder, to no avail.
Ive even manually switched the permissions of the app folder and checked every option, it still did not work.
I have noticed, however, that after I enable RW in file expert, and then check a different explorer application, the app folder is switched back to read only.
Im stuck and cant figure out what to do next. Im trying to access the android market.

Where is this root explorer app? I can't find it anywhere, not on the market, and not online.
I'm having the same issue. I rooted my phone, installed google framework, and can't move the file to system/app. I've tried using other file managers and changing to read/write, still nothing. I've had success with several other android devices, this just isn't making any sense to me. My kindle fire is about to become kindle firewood.

Root Explorer really is the best app for this. You may need to download it on your phone and transfer the .apk to your kf to get it. It's an app I didn't mind paying for at all because it's the only one that does everything. It's really a must have.

I ran into the same thing when trying to move an apk to the /system/app folder. I got it to work by enabling the option to "Mount File System" in the the Settings and it allowed me to move it. I disabled that setting afterward for safety's sake.
Cannot move .apk files to system/app
