Wow, I feel old.  I remember way back in mid-2000 when we were all
waiting for Linux version 2.4 to be released.  Where did the time go?

Do you have permission to write to the directory in question?  Saving a
file is often implemented in terms of delete/rename, which of course
has nothing to do with permissions on the file itself.
