Narrative:

We were cleared to taxi to runway 27L hold short of runway 27R. We taxied short of runway 27R and were asked by ground controller if we could accept runway 27R for departure. We replied to the affirmative. The reply was blocked by another aircraft transmission. Ground controller repeated question and we replied again to the affirmative. He then cleared us into 'position and hold' on runway 27R. We then switched to tower. Tower cleared other aircraft on final to land on runway 27R. Other aircraft stated that there was another aircraft on runway. Tower replied that he would have to see what was going on. Aircraft on final decided to go around. We were finally cleared for takeoff by tower.
