Unable to create any new files... file io error

Hi, to answer your first question, yes I have rwx permissions in that dir. First noticed the problem when I couldn't save a new mission. I could however save changes to an existing mission. So I went and created a few new blank .mis files, just on the command line with a simple touch command, then saved a slightly modified mission with that name, and it worked. I checked the console output, and it gave me the "unable to open file, file io error" bit, when trying to save the .mis to a new name. I asked about the problem on irc. A very nice guy name of Quietus told me to just debug the file io in torque. Well, I'm a novice programer, and debuging a major piece of code the size of torque because it can't save a file is way over my head. He suggested that if I didn't have the skills to debug this problem I wouldn't get very far with torque. Well, I didn't buy torque to build a multi-million dollar game. I just want to learn enough to build a simple fps I would like to play with a few friends, and learn a bit in the process. In any event, I don't expect that saving a file should be beyond the abilities of torque. It's sort of one of those things that should work without me having to dive into some code and debug it myself. I'm pretty sure it's not a linux issue, but like I said, I'm a novice, and could be wrong. I dual boot, and don't have this problem with the windows version. Looks like I'm going to have to stay on Windows, even though I despise it, and even though I've spent hours and hours getting torque to run at all on linux. Might anyone have an idea on how to fix this, that doesn't involve me debuging torque ?
