Are you using the "Create Dir" button in the Save dialog?  I've noticed
that if you click the "Create Dir" button, it expects you to type in a
single name.  It sounds like you are typing "cash" in the "Create Dir"
dialog, and then immediately clicking Ok in the Save dialog.  Have you
entered a filename in the "Selection" entry field? or is it the
directory name showing up in there?  You'll want to make sure you enter
a valid file name in the "Selection" entry field of the Save dialog,
after creating/navigating to the appropriate directory.

We may have misunderstood your original post as not being able to write
to a file in a specified directory, which would of course imply a
permissions problem.=20
