After screwing around a bit I figured out what the problem was.
I was worried that I could never save ANY games again on my system. But I had to quit the game completely, and delete my saves that I brought from my dad's housed. It's a shame that the character that my girlfriend just spent 4 hours crafting to perfection is gone.
You cannot transfer files from one ps3 account to another and save. If you start skyrim, try to load that transfered game, it will lock you out of saving completely even if you start a new one.
You have to quit the game and start it back up before it lets you save again. I also deleted my transfered saves.
So I hope this helps other out there from running into this problem.
