This is an old question, but it's older than my ROS experience... So I hope this answer helps future ROS developers.
I have no idea how your robot looks, but I will guess it is the same problem I got in the past.
When you move the iterative marker(blue sphere) the planner will try to calculate every position+orientation for where you are trying to grab to. And it assumes that you want to keep the orientation and just change the end-effector position, so it's very easy that your robot cant be in some "middle" positions+orientations and it denies from moving.
Well, that iterative marker is designed for 6 DoF robotic arms, so that's not a bug. I think you can grab it if you allow it to select approximately locations+orientations in the Planning menu, but it depends on your robot movement...

It can be in the Context menu in older versions of moveit
