[MINC-users] tpb1@ualberta.ca (Thomas Bouchard): Error saving mnc but not tag labels

[tpb1@ualberta.ca]

Hi Everyone,
I'm running into a snag when trying to save .mnc labels on an external  
drive.  Saving using absolute or relative paths doesn't make a  
difference, e.g.

Enter filename to save: /media/usbdisk/labels.mnc
nccreate: filename "/media/usbdisk/labels.mnc": Operation not permitted
micreate: MINC package entry point
Error: opening MINC file "/media/usbdisk/labels.mnc".

#  Error:  Labels were NOT saved.             #
#                                             #

However, .tag files can be saved just fine.  The external drive is not  
read-only, so that's not the problem.  Of course, I could use the .tag  
format, but to save space, I'd like to figure out what's wrong with  
saving in the .mnc format.  Labels save in either format when saving  
to the local disk drive, just not to the external drive.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Thomas
