Please tell us, which operating system do you use, and whether you use 
the dialogs from the operating system or the dialogs provided by 
LibreOffice. And you should tell us, which version of LibreOffice do you 
use.

Creating folders depends on operating system.

Have you already tried to set the folders to writeable?

No. First you should check, whether it is a problem with settings in 
your operating system.
