Just a hint:

as the message says the file ptr is preserved. One can change the filename
in that struct (IIRC as a second arg to xlsclose in a next call) to at least
be able to save one's work to some other place where one does have write
access.

Otherwise, I found Allen's remark quite to the point: I also often encounter
unexpainable write access issues at work with several other programs than
just Octave. And indeed IT staff often can't explain it themselves :-)
