Small transactions or ones that are composed of many small coins sometimes need a transaction fee.  This is to prevent people from abusing the network by flooding small, complicated transactions.

If you post your wallet address we can look at blockexplorer and give you a better idea what's happening, or you can just pay the fee.

Yeah, as Revalin said, for prevent abusing. You can't spend coins recently recibed.

There are older versions of the client (v0.3.20, for instance) which didn't do fee checking but your transaction could end up in the queue for a while (hours to a day or two, depending on the queue).

That's what I use the money from Dailybitcoins.org for: Paying transaction fees.

Other people are mining the verification of your transaction, so it should go to them.
