P2 Viewer & Files NOT saving

Working thru some of the problems Ive had with my P2 and my workflow (mostly me, old dog...new tricks). However, I have a problem with the P2 viewer.

The P2 card is not write protected. When I look at a clip in P2 Viewer under any shot icon I try to rename the SHOOTER. When I single or double click on the footage icon this happens. I go into the SHOOTER field change it to BOB then hit save…I get FAILED TO SAVE THE CLIP, REFRESHING VIEW over & over in a bizarre loop. In essence- it wont let me change ANY of the metadata. Am I doing something wrong? From the manual it seems easy & straight forward.

For reference its version 3,5,12,0. Any help is appreciated.
 
Never really tried virtual p2, shot one project on p2 (shot doc to mini dv tapes). Whats weird is I know people at Panasonic in the Midwest (Elgin office) and they make it sound matter-of-fact. Name changing a file seems like a basic option. Could the file be read only or soemthing? (The p2 card is not write protected).
 
If you're not using a virtual P2 card, what are you doing?

I'd try creating a virtual card, since then you can determine if the problem is hardware or software. I'd also experiment with an earlier version of the software.
