Actually I just noticed that a similar problem also happens with smb mounted shares, however, instead of the "insufficient user rights" message, a dialog asking for a username and password will pop up. I think that the underlying problem is the same in this case; libreoffice is presented with a "smb://servername/path/to/file" link rather than a local path that goes through "/home/$USER/.gvfs". Instead of opening the file through the existing mount point, libreoffice then tries to use its internal smb support to open the file, asking for a password (this doesn't work for sftp since the protocol isn't supported in libreoffice, hence the error in that case).
I think the solution in each case would be to recode the path that is sent to openoffice to the locally accessible .gvfs folder. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927518 Title: Cannot save to sftp folder, saying "Object not accessible" Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When I try to save a new LibreOffice Calc document, to an sftp folder, I see an error dialogs that say: " Error saving the document Unitled1: Object not accessible The object cannot be accessed due to insufficient user rights.
