Just to rule out the obvious, you have made changes have you? Not just
opened it up to check there are no problems? When no changes have been made
the "save" functionality is 'disabled' whether accessed using the button or
the menus because it isn't needed. Obviously "save as" is available to allow
you to make a copy of the file with another name. I'm sure that would have
been the first thing you thought of but include it just in case.

If you have made changes but can still only use "save as" I would suggest
that points to a permissions problem which you suspected yourself. Have you
checked the permissions on the accounts database file?

I don't use GnuCash on Linux so don't know exactly what permissions you
would see but would think as an absolute minimum when logged on as the user
accessing GnuCash you would need "-rw-------" to allow that user to both
read and write to the file.
