I can create and delete cards, but I can't save the stack. Regardless of 
the permissions set for the stack or where it is placed, the engine 
needs to create a temporary backup file, and it can't do that. Or at 
least, I can't make it do that. I also tried putting the save command in 
a closestack handler in the stack's script (didn't work,) as well as a 
custom handler that the cgi calls, but that doesn't work either.
