G'day Tom
I too am running 10.8.2.
You've obviously got a permissions problem with the folder 'Work'.
Select that folder, and do a command-i on it (get info), and reset the permissions

Thanks Brian for your prompt rely but I am sorry to say but right out of the
box your suggestion failed.
I am still unable to save the text due to permission problems.
I am running 10.8.2. I understand that with 10.7 there were big changes to
the dialog box of textedit and the ability to save temp changes to a
permanent file. I have a whole system of scripts that rely heavy on screen
scraping and saving the info in plain text files. Which are later filtered
to various data bases. I need a Solid solution for what appears to be a
Mountainous problem (yes the pun is intended)!!
Your suggestion:
set ptd to path to desktop
set getpage to "This is a test"
tell application "TextEdit"
set filelst to {"FedMangrealtxt"}
--{"AmCentPosBal", "AmCentrealtxt"}
repeat with File_item in filelst
activate
set Tithdr to File_item
make new document at the front
set the text of the front document to getpage as text
save the front document in (ptd & "Work:" & Tithdr as text)
close the front document saving no
end repeat
--delay 3
open (ptd & "Work:" & Tithdr & ".rtf" as text)
end tell
