/Library/Application Support off limits?

Hi,

Apple say:

Code Block Application Support : Contains all app-specific data and support files. These are the files that your app creates and manages on behalf of the user and can include files that contain user data.
By convention, all of these items should be put in a subdirectory whose name matches the bundle identifier of the app. For example, if your app is named MyApp and has the bundle identifier com.example.MyApp, you would put your app’s user-specific data files and resources in the ~/Library/Application Support/com.example.MyApp/ directory. Your app is responsible for creating this directory as needed.
Resources required by the app to run must be placed inside the app bundle itself.

Our app isn't sandboxed, but when I try to create a "/Library/Application Support/NewFolder" folder in there I get the following message:

Code Block 
You don't have permission to save the file "NewFolder" in the folder "Application Support."

I can't find anywhere else suitable to use for sharing files that need to be read and written by different users - /Users/Shared doesn't seem right, and apparently we can't access /Library without authorization.

Where can I store files that should be user-independent, but also writable by our application? It would suck if I ended up having to duplicate files multiple times if different users used an app on the same machine.

Thanks
