Browser downloading into a package?

We've got a problem that is effecting only some of our users that all have networked home directories. We are all 10.4.6 on the clients and 10.4.8 on the servers. When the are in a browser (Firefox/ Safari) and want to download a PDF it stops them with a dialog box and tells them they can't download to the particular location because they don't have permissions to change that folder. Well, that folder just happens to also be inside of an application package, and it's never the same for each user. I've had the PDF want to download inside of /Applications/Address Book.app/Contents/Resources/ zh_CN.lproj/ABPrintPanel.nib/xd7ua16n.pdf, for Adobe Acrobat Professional, Printer locations, Safari itself, and various other applications.

The only way I've been able to figure out how to fix it is to actually go into the package, and remove the folder from the package. This way it will force the browser to download to a new location. I've even tried to archive off the file/folder to force the browser to go to the new location, and then thinking the download path was fixed, put the file back, only to have the problem return.

So the only way I've been able to figure out how to fix it is to alter the application package - which isn't really the best solution at all. Has anyone ever seen or experienced this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian
