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.
