 - Could you verify the startup configuration after this and verify if a (real) saving of the running-config was done or not. Also check the logs after that failure , see if you can find more info's from the logs.

 - How is the current-administrative user authenticated , if this is not a local admin , does it have sufficient privileges  (like for instance getting admins authenticated through radius) , though it seems the command can be executed indeed , the lack of could then be  minor side effect.

Looks like you don't have full permission to do that...

If you are using AAA? if yes check the permissions on your user ID.
