NotebookDirectory fails

In Mathematica 7.0 and Linux,
NotebookDirectory[] returns an empty string
after saving the notebook
and successfully returning a correct path at a first time.

This happens in the following Linux system:
"Version" -> "7.0 for Linux x86 (32-bit) (December 18, 2008)"

1. Save a notebook in which
  NotebookDirectory[]
returns a correct path.

2. Quit Mathematica, and open the notebook.

3. Evaluate the same line of NotebookDirectory[]
and I get an empty string.

This is troublesome for I cannot do
  SetDirectory[NotebookDirectory[]]
in notebooks.

Anyone has a similar problem?
Thanks.
Yoshi
