All I've got is a wild guess, but you're welcome to it.  It's likely the 
system is trying to save a temporary file somewhere other than where the 
actual file is going.  /tmp is an obvious canidate, but it could also be 
something obscure like /home/user/.gnome/something (can you tell I use 
KDE rather than gnome?).  I'd take a good look at the permissions and 
available drive space in /tmp and similar places.
