Got it! If anyone runs into this problem, manually pick out the path in the "Save as PDF" -> Change button.
I tried to "Save as PDF" in: C:/Users/Public/Documents/CBRA/Newsletter2010-2/Newsletter2010pg1b.pdf ..and got a "Cannot write file: C:/Users/Public/Documents/CBRA/Newsletter2010-2/Newsletter2010pg1b.pdf" I tried again and clicked the "Change" button to "Save As" and I got an error along the lines "path does not exist on B:\". I acknowledged the error and then navigated to folder C:/Users/Public/Documents/CBRA/Newsletter2010-2/, set the "Compression Quality" to Low, hit save and Scribus happily saved the file as a PDF. I tried to replicate the error by editing the path/filename field to B:/ instead of C:/, hit the Save button and Scribus merrily ignored my edit and saved the file to "C:/Users/Public/Documents/CBRA/Newsletter2010-2/Newsletter2010pg1b.pdf".
