Amaya problem saving file to SD card on Asus eee

I am running Amaya 10.1 on an Asus EEE 701 4G running Xandros.

When I start it up, it writes this to the log:

	(amaya_bin:1639): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_colormap: assertion
	`!GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED (widget)' failed

	(amaya_bin:1639): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_colormap: assertion
	`!GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED (widget)' failed

But that is not the problem I want to describe.

I am editing a file on an SD card. Amaya wrote it initially to the card  
with no complaint. However, each time I try to save the file, it pops up a  
dialogue box saying: "Cannot save in: /home/user/MMC-SD/8GIG/2008-08.html".
However, it *has* saved the file!

The error message to the log is:

	01:34:47 PM: Error: Impossible to set permissions for the file
	'/home/user/MMC-SD/8GIG/2008-08.html' (error 1: Operation not permitted)

For your edification, here are the permissions as they are on the files:

	/home/user> ls -l MMC-SD
	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2008-08-06 13:33 MMC-SD -> /media/MMC-SD/

	/home/user> cd MMC-SD
	/home/user/MMC-SD> ls -l
	total 32
	drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 32768 2008-08-06 13:34 8GIG/

	/home/user/MMC-SD> cd 8GIG/
	/home/user/MMC-SD/8GIG> ls -l 2008-08.html
	-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4798 2008-08-06 13:34 2008-08.html

Best wishes,
