You should upgrade to a newer version. I plan to release
v1.4 final fairly soon (just waiting on the translation
team right now). You can download CSV to the client rather
than save it to a file on the webserver. (NOTE: There is a
small change in the database btwn 1.3 and 1.4 so read the
README.) You can change the location where CSV files are
saved in v1.3 by editing admin/include/lib/espauth.inc
(espauth-default.inc in v1.4).

Could you test this in a newer version, I thought this was
fixed before v1.3, but perhaps not.

I will take a look at that. In the future please submit bug
reports through the sourceforge bug page -- that helps me
to keep track of them.
