When editing files on a (Windows?) networked drive I get "could not be saved" errors When I edit files that are stored locally, everything works fine, but when editing files that are stored on my networked home directory (at uni here), I get:

The document "&lt;x&gt;" could not be saved.


when I try to save a file. If I then close the program (XCode), I get this:



If I click duplicate, and then reopen the file, the changes I just made are all there. And as far as I can tell, no duplicate file is created. With TextEdit I get this:



I've lost the browser tab now, but I read something that was saying this will only happen for programs that use OSX's autosave feature or something? So far, I get the error message in XCode and TextEdit, but not TextWrangler.

The networked drive is at /Volumes/Student/Home/myUsername/, and I think it's a windows drive, but I'm not sure.

EDIT:
As requested, df:

Autosave is not working, you might not have sufficient permission on that volume. You should try rebuild the permissions or take the folder ownership using chown -R.

"… does not support permanent storage" means Versions is not working because the volume is not HFS+, it must be NTFS or FAT and you are using a protocol such as smb. 

Apps who aren't using Version and Autosave have no problems.
If you want to disable these look here.
