Yes, this would be true...It is a permissions issue. Only once you are at a
level where you have write access to will the system allow you to create a
new folder or document...to check this in the future to see if this is
always the case for your problem go to get info (right click) on whatever
folder level you are at and then check out the 'ownership and permissions'
for that level and you will know if you can read/write/execute at that
level...
