Not everything can be defragmented?

When I defragment my disk, the report at the end says, that some files cannot be defragmented. The files are quite big, so when I choose the defragmenting application (standard Windows one) to "analyze" my drive, it says it needs to be defragmented, even though I had just defragmenetd it! Can I do anything about it? Is it normal?
 
My guess would be the paging file, but that shows up as Green and is unmovable. I have my paging file at the front of my drive in another partition (since access time at the front of the drive is MUCH shorter). Anyways, I sometimes get this same problem but I haven't gotten in for a long time.
 
Diskeeper is tha best defrag program, you should try it. Also, make sure you have at least 20% disk space free.
