This seems like ground hog day. I am sure I have been through this all a 
while back with OOO when I reported a similar (the same) bug. If you 
search way back in the archives it should be found, but don't know what 
the fix was.
I have started to add to the bug report what I find and what jogs my memory.

The problem is not evident on OSX with LO 3.4.0 or on Suse 11.0 + LO 
3.3.2 using konqueror.

It is evident with Suse 11.3 + LO 3.?? (have to check again) with 
Dolphin. There is an error message when I save as from LO, I will check 
again tomorrow when I boot my draftsman off his machine, something along 
the lines of "the file can only be saved to a local drive".

From recollection last time it happened when Linux distros went  from 
the smb driver to the cifs driver. Konqueror stayed with the SMB code 
and Dolphin may have changed. There was some sort of issue. I mount most 
of my smb storage (Nas units) at login so the storage share appears in 
the local file system.

I suspect something changed in Ubuntu from 10. to 11. and LO needs to 
change to accommodate this.
