Since you mentioned root and read-write permissions, it looks like you have Linux. This is not OpenOffice.org issue but OS issue because it involves file writing to a device. It sure does look annoying but you are barking on the wrong tree, so to speak. :)
If the device is owned by root, then even though you have r-w perms on the files, you are stuck. Here's a workaround. make sure your usb device is owned by root and belongs to the 'disk' group. mine is like this $ls -l /dev/sda2 brw-rw---- root disk 8, 2 2005-05-08 10:33 /dev/sda2 then in your /etc/fstab make sure that you have an entry similar to this (my usb device is /dev/sda2): /dev/sda2 /mnt/usb reiser4 noauto,user,rw 0 0 post back the results.
