Further info:

This problem relates to a MicroSoft Windows Server architectural issue.  The
Active Directory (AD) domain that the user belongs to runs Windows 2000 Advance
Server as the OS.  The user has recently had their workstation (MS-XPpro-SP3)
swapped for one running MS-Win7proV1.   They use a roaming profile.

They had been a long-time user of LibreOffice and previously OpenOffice.  Thus
their LO Application Data directories were created by the XP workstation.  When
the Win7 was swapped everything continued to work through several upgrades of
LO, including LO-4.2.5.  As some point in the recent past some change occurred
that prompted LO to create a new User/App Data/Libreloffice/X folder,
presumably because it had some problem reading the X-1 folder.  

The new folder was created with permissions which did not permit the
LibreOffice application to access the files that it had just created.  It is
possible that the new folder was created when LO was run with administrative
privileges.  Whatever the case, it seems that there is an issue with the user
permissions when a new LOB App Data folder is required on a Win-7 system.

The problem was fixed by removing the old LO folder in App Data and having the
user log onto their roaming profile on a WinXPproSP3 workstation and run LO
there.  This created a new LO App Data folder which was then accessible when LO
was run on their normal Win7 workstation.
