Are any other apps having problems? I've been using dia the last few days
through a forwarded X connection via ssh and it saves just fine. You may want
to try recompiling dia and if that doesn't work, it's dependencies. Make sure
you have read and write access to those files and execute permissions to
/home/basvg (but then a bunch of other stuff would probably be broken as well
if these weren't set already ;)).
