Same problem here, all our files are on a NAS (cifs share). Ubuntu 16.04 / Evince 3.18.2
When we want to "edit" a pdf file with evince (create annotation in my case) and overwrite the file.. is not possible, i got the same error "Error renaming temporary file: Permission denied". So we still work with Adobe Acrobat PRO by example and this is stupid because this functionality work great with local file in evince.

When I save the form, I get the message "Error renaming temporary file: Permission denied", and the file is not saved. I don't have permissions trouble in any other apps. The problem happens only when I'm using a filesystem that I mount in /mnt, and not for example in my home directory or in /tmp. Although I launch evince from the terminal, there are no unusual error messages printed there. However, journalctl shows a string of error messages (see attached log).
