Cannot save office document to network drive

I have a netware (ncpfs) volume mounted in a directory in my OpenSuSE 13.1 file system, mounted with the same UID and GID (mode 0755 and dirmode 0755) as the user running Crossover Office. I have a symbolic link pointing to that volume, named f:, under the bottle's dosdevices directory. Everything looks fine, I can see and open the files and everything. However, as soon as I try to save from MS Word 2010, I get a "permission denied" error. This happens both when I select "Save As" and try to save as a new file, and when open an existing file on the network drive, make a change, and simply click "Save." I can save to a local directory (such as a directory in the normal Linux filesystem, under Z:, that I have access to) just fine. I can also open a command prompt from the bottle (Run Command, wineconsole cmd), go to the same directory on f:, and write to a file just fine ("echo test1 >test.txt" and then "echo test2 >>test.txt" both work perfectly, no errors). It also seems to save to a mapped Samba share just fine.

Right now, I have to resort to saving the file to my local filesystem and then manually copying it to the network directory from the bash prompt. Is there a way to fix this?
