I've got a similar problem, I've Ubuntu 9.10, with TW 2.6 & Firefox 3.5.8 running both in a VM 3.01 under Windows 7 and the host Windows 7. I've made the changes recommended by the privileges plugin in both environments. When I click save the first time I get the do you want to proceed prompt, after I accept TW won't save with the message 'Failed to save main TiddlyWiki file. Your changes have not been saved'. This is the same in both.
