Thanks for the replies, we are going to try it again tonight I think. The issue we had was everywhere we tried to do anything, we got warnings about something, which didn't allow us to do anything. Was rather confusing. I will admit we didn't put a ton of time into trying to figure things out (we assumed the land we were trying to build in was claimed). We will give it a whirl tonight and see what becomes of it.
theotter, last time its possible that you tried to dig an cut trees in a deed. Around the starter areas of servers can be quite crowded and deeded. Most of the time, you have to walk away far enough to do anything decently. This is the case for most of freedom servers but epic is fairly underpopulated. Despite being dangerous because of pvp, home servers can be a nice start for you. You can easily find places to settle and call for help anytime you see enemies, run to starter town if its close enough. Let me assure you that you will get response to your call. Until you get enough skill to fight you can be relatively safe wih the help of experienced players

Now I'm assuming you tried to dig in random spots and you misinterpreted the message telling you that you don't have the skill to dig there.

It was a good 5-6 months ago, so I don't remember. I do remember we tried to dig, cut a tree down and like fish or something...
