The problem with the su/gksu theory causing this is that I very, very seldom use gksu. At the very most maybe once a month if that. For some reason I keep looking at 'can't create' not realizing until it suddenly hits me that hey, dummy, the file is already there and all the permissions are correct so what seems to be the problem then. So why am I being told every two minutes that the file can't be created if it already exists?
