Can anyone shed light on this problem - first, when I have been trying to save , blender was giving me all sorts of unusual paths to save to - seemed like it was creating new directories within directories, within directories . . .  then I re-installed blender - and now it will only save blend files that are already on the server or on my PC, but will not save NEW blend files.

This is a problem . . . . :unsure:

Well, It sounds to me like a bug with Blender installation on XP non-admin accounts. So, if you are working in account like that, that could be a reason :)

Ive found a way to save a "new" file - copy an existing file, open it, delete everything and its a file that has a name and a path, and is saved already.  All well and good in the mean time...

but can I copy a model, or existing objects in an unsaved file over to a file like this....otherwise I'll lose the model

Is there a copy - paste facility?   I haven't found it

There's a python script that can do that here: http://uselessdreamer.byethost32.com/object_copier.html
