I simply checked my /home on two machines and because they are different to yours I suggested it. Maybe it is not the problem:
# mkdir /test # ll -d test drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 8 08:59 test # cd test # mkdir myuser # chown myuser:myuser myuser # chmod 700 myuser # ll -d /home/myuser drwx------ 102 myuser myuser 4096 Jun 8 08:58 /home/myuser
$ cd /test/myuser $ touch test $ ll total 4 - -rw-rw-r-- 1 myuser myuser 0 Jun 8 09:01 test
What app are you saving with? I use KSnapshot which works fine here. What user credentials is your app saving with... the error may be misleading.
