Summary: App Crashes Attempting To Save

Initial Comment:
Running 7th Guest on ScummVM 1.2 for Mac. Numerous times I attempted to save in-game using the directory ~/Documents/ScummVM Savegames, and each time ScummVM crashed unexpectedly. (See attached crash log.) I then went to SVM's options for 7th Guest and tried to choose the above directory again as my savegame path (in case, y'know, something changed in how savegames work...it had been a long time since I touched SVM before now). SVM wouldn't let me, insisting the directory couldn't be written to. Seemed dubious, because I could write to it, but I won't challenge it. I then changed it to somewhere outside of my home directory, and 7th Guest saved my games fine.

TL;DR: ScummVM crashes when trying to save to a directory it can't write to.
