ben what format are you trying to save in, i've tryed everything but
automounted nfs, even on fat32 i can't reproduce the no save.

worst comes to worst you can 
"strace -o ~/soffice.out ~/Office51/bin/soffice"
This is going to bog your machine like you've never seen before so don't
doddle try to save and imediately exit. The resulting file from just
starting soffice and threefingering my X server when it loaded the main
screen was 2Mb. Once you've shut it down again run 
"grep open ~/soffice.out" and/or "grep open ~/soffice.out|grep -i deny"
