David,

It sounds like you forgot to define the savefile_path . 

Here are the routine lines in a st.cmd file to properly configure 
save-restore ...

# set up for autosave/restore
set_requestfile_path("./")
set_savefile_path("/iocinfo/saverestore/iocsrvid1")
set_pass0_restoreFile("srvid1AutosaveV3.sav")
set_pass1_restoreFile("srvid1AutosaveV3.sav")
sr_restore_incomplete_sets_ok = 1

iocInit

create_monitor_set("srvid1AutosaveV3.req",60.0)
