Have you looked in the log file? The naming is dependent on your distro, but 
they are commonly called smbd.log amd nmbd.log - its likely the
forme one is what you want.

go to /var/log then 

find|grep smbd should find the log file. run it through tail -f and
watch what happens when you go to save a file.

Which share is causing the problem or is it the same with all shares?

Also I note that some of your options use the "-" instead of "=", for
example in [data] you have "Writable - Yes" - I think it should be
"witeable = yes"

Try running testparm, it tests your smb.conf for internal correctness.
It is a command line tool.
