Hi.
I had something like this happen to me a while back with OOO, I had read
and write permissions but not create.
I can't remember the solution.
Are you browsing the network or mounting the share. Is the share a guest
share or does it have user level access controls.

Hi :)
Could you try saving a text-file or something to the networked drive?  That 
should help you see if you have permissions to create on the file-share.  

Regards from
Tom :)
