Yay. It works perfectly when I try to save to my home partition, and yes, the partition I originally tried was NTFS. I've never had problems with NTFS, so that's why this didn't come to my mind.
Thanks for your help, this solves the problem for me.

NTFS is not very good option for writing on Linux... it has too many issues...
The ntfs-3g driver is fairly functional but still... there are some issues... specially if you try to change file permissions/ownership (don't know if audacity does that when it saves files, but maybe it does).
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).
