You're sure that you have the rights to create files in incoming dir?

Maybe you are sharing the computer aMule is installed on?
And you therefore may not have permissions to change anything in the directory designated to "incoming", completed files.
If you dont know which directory that is, in aMule, go to "Preferences" > "Directories",
where you can see what the location of that directory is.

Get the directory from the dialog rrm told you. Then go on a console to that dir and try "touch file". What happens?

Why did I knew that.

Jep. console is a sort of terminal. Go to your terminal, typ "cd <the_dir_you_have_in_config>"  >Enter< "touch file"

So you have to correct rights. Run now from the terminal "amule -o", wait till the error comes, and tell us what's reported in the terminal.

I deleted the reponse post - NEVER POST FILE NAMES.

Now, the probles is that you have your incoming folder as /home/   

You need to change it to a folder you have write access to, like your users' home foldrr (which woulf be like /home/yourusername/ )

Please post the output of the following two commands:

  • ls -l /home/yourusername/.aMule
