I usually just crank up all my privs before spawning Emacs (on VMS), then
 crank them back down.

(Of course, I usually crank them right back up.  You can't do anything
 worthwhile under VMS without privs!)

That gives my Emacs privs, and I can write files anywhere.  It squawks a
 bit, but it works.
