I've tried to reproduce this behavior, but on my system saving when
the volume is mounted read-write via NTFS-3G works fine, and saving
when it is mounted read-only is not allowed by the application.
Please try the following:
* Examine the kernel log ('sudo dmesg') and mount options ('mount'
without arguments) to make sure the filesystem is mounted read-write
and is consistent. I've seen NTFS-3G set the write flag on a
filesystem even while mounted read-only.
* Use the mutagen-inspect tool ('mutagen-inspect /path/to/file') to
ensure that the files are really being changed by QL, and not just in
QL's internal database.
* Run Quod Libet from a terminal with debugging output enabled
('QUODLIBET_DEBUG=1 quodlibet') and post the relevant portion after
receiving the error message (or just post the whole thing).
Thanks,
Steven
