I'ts the same problem for me. I'm using a USB hard drive (Fantom Drives, Green Drive, 1TB)

I even formatted the drive using Ubuntu 12.04 itself. That is, in Unity Launcher on leftside, I right-clicked the drive icon and selected Format. I did tests using both EXT4 and FAT32. Same results.

As I type this Ubuntu 12.04 "Backup" has no problems writing to the drive. I have no problem writing to the drive in the Terminal. If I open Gedit and save to the drive, no problem...

But, anything I try in Nautilus (Create New Folder, Drag & Drop Copy) gives the error: "The destination is read-only."
