Security settings on the folder or file in which the material file exists.

Someone either set the material file to read only, or it was placed on a network drive that does not have write access. There have been strange sporadic issues of Windows user-access settings (running as a non-administrator) not being able to write to the default file location. That's one of the reasons why ST6 changed the default installation location of settings files.
