How to get OpenERP's Document Management to save files on the file system?

Question

I'm running v7.0, and just installed the Document Management System. Both before and after following these instructions I have been unsuccessful in locating any newly uploaded files in the file system (I deleted and re-uploaded after the change). Also, when looking in the ir_attachments table the store_fname field is blank.

Anyone know how to get OpenERP to store the files in the file system on not in the database?

I think that you've already resolved your problem, but I'll answer for those who have the same issue as you: verify that the user openerp has the rights to write in the directory that you've defined.
