Hi, Searching google for 'appdata roaming read only' turns up a lot of hits, so it's something that does seem to occur in other cases as well, but as far as I could see from quickly scanning through these hits, there is no obvious solution that works in all cases.
Anyhow, you can create a shortcut of Mnemosyne and then edit that shortcut to start Mnemosyne with the '-d <folder_name>' argument: that way you can set where Mnemosyne stores its data.
