Ok, here is what is happening: Your webhost has something like mod_security running, which is blocking your try to save the page (mod_security and the like is based on crude heuristics and they think you are trying to hack into your site). Additionaly Error-pages on your host are wrongly configured, therefore the textpattern rewrite-rules (from .htaccess) kick in, and the front-page tries to handle the request as best as it can.
When Alex asked you to remove the .htaccess that was the reason why – to find out if that was the case. Deleting the .htaccess has absolutely zero effect on the functioning of the backend. However it will stop the textpattern’s public side from hiding the actual error message you are getting.
Removing the .htaccess file has a highly negative effect on both the admin and the live side of things.
That “highly negative” error message on the admin-side is probably the error message that was needed to diagnose this problem. There is an FAQ entry on that specific problem:

Re: Cannot publish changes made to the presentation section!
When I remove the .htaccess file and then try to save a change, I get this message:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /textpattern/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
————————————————————————————————————————
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.hollywoodlibertine.com Port 80
I don’t get any error messages on the public side anymore. I will contact my host with your comments and see what they say…
thanks,
