Failed to write files

Hi!
I'm doing a little project which is my first one in TGB, and I'm having some problems. The first one is that I want to have a high-scores table. This is quite important for the game, as it's based purely on the ability of getting a good score.
I downloaded a tutorial from this site and copied the code. I modified it a bit and after using it for a while, I couldn't get it to save the info to a file. As the only part of the code that is not explained on the tutorial is the one related to saving/loading, I decided to try a different approach. I remembered there is an I/O tutorial in the help file, and I tried to use that as a base.
For some reason, it just didn't work. I tried saving it to different locations without success. I also tried creating first the file and the using it, but also failed. I don't have complete version, so I don't have access to the code, but my guess is that this functions must be somewhat similar to using fopen with "wt" in C, so I don't get it why it doesn't work. I think the load function doesn't work as well, but I really can't recall if I tested it or not (I'll try to do it soon and post the result).
By the way, I checked the log and it seems that some files used by TGB aren't getting saved either. I had noted that earlier but hadn't give it any importance. I get the following errors:
"XML::beginWrite - Failed to write to filecommon/commonConfig.xml."
"saveGameConfigurationData - Failed to write to file: common/commonConfig.xml"
Any idea on how to fix this?
Thanks for your help!

PS: I didn't included the code, as it's the same as the one in the I/O tutorial, but I'll can post it if needed.
