This is not true. You can choose where you want your PDF to go to. Maybe 
try changing the directory that you want to export to will help.

Do you have Ghostscript? Does Scribus know where Ghostscript is? There 
are some kinds of content which will require Ghostscript to process to 
make the PDF.

Hint: if you can generate a barcode, you have Ghostscript and it's working.
