-crawl- Please save my savegame !

Hey

I had a rude suprise this morning. I couldn't load my character ! I
checked morgue.txt, and no, it's not there so I must have really saved
him. /var/games/crawl shows a bunch of files named Veles1000.bla
(including .bak, but no sav; renaming, recreating directory structure,
packaging to tar.gz and chmod/chgroup to b0rsuk.games didn't work). But
the dir has no Veles1000.tar.gz file. If I recreate one myself ( see
above) crawl doesn't load it and deletes the archive.
I have an another _working_ savegame (of a human palading stuck in
Labyrinth; I can't even reach the middle and there seems to be no
secred doors. I can't dig.) which I used as an example.
I also checked Veles.txt (character dump) to make sure I didn't spell
the name wrong.
Is there anything I can do ?
I use Kubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger. Other crawl savegames seem to be
located in /var/games/crawl. Packaged into a (name)1000.tar.gz files.
Directory structure inside such an archive:
/var/games/crawl/(name)1000.0a (and so forth). Permissions (I use -R)
are: 100644. Owner: b0rsuk (my login), group games.
I did it exactly as above and it doesn't work. Crawl says I must be new
here ! :<

If someone would be so nice, I could send a working and not_working
savegames for comparison. In case It can't be recovered... sniff... (I
use google groups, and it seems I can't attach)

//I guess Raise Dead is out of question with so ridiculously fast food
consumption. By the way, is this just me or demigods are underpowered ?
Nice abilities, but awful food consumption and below average skills,
and no god ? (well, considering that I'm to become one myself....)
