Can't save an ad-hoc report if I add a filter???

[cbarlow3]

I usually write my reports in iReport and then deploy them to the JasperReports Server, but I also have to support clients who are attempting to create ad-hoc reports directly in JasperReports Server.  Today they ran across a problem I hadn't seen before, but I can easily duplicate.  I create a basic report from an existing Topic.  I can save it, I can run it.  Then I decide that I want to add a filter based on one of the columns.  In design view I can create the filter and specify that I only want to display rows where this value is "No".  The preview in design mode reacts accordingly and still looks fine.  But then I can't save the report anymore.  Regardless of whether I choose "Save as..." and choose the same folder as before or whether I just choose "Save", I get:

"You do not have permission to write to this location.  Please choose another folder, or contact your system administrator."

I can't imagine that the problem is the Reports folder that I just finished saving the report to successfully.  I have to think that somehow it's trying to save the filter information separately in a folder that I didn't specfify and that I don't have access to?  I could have sworn that I've added filters before during a demo AND saved/run the resulting report, but this one really has me stumped. 

More testing reveals two facts that might help someone figure out what is going one:

1. I tested with another Topic (the one I normally demo with), and I was able to add filters juts fine and still save/run.

2. When I run into a problem saving the report, I've tried then DELETING the filter(s), and I STILL can't save the report.  As soon as I add a filter, JasperReports Server treats the report differently when I try to save from then on.

Any ideas?  Here in the office, I'm running as jasperadmin during this test.
