I now get this backtrace with the lates Emacs from CVS:

(gamegrid-add-score "foo" 10)
=>

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "/home/harder/.emacs.d/games/foo: no such 
directory")
  signal(error ("/home/harder/.emacs.d/games/foo: no such directory"))
  error("%s: no such directory" "/home/harder/.emacs.d/games/foo")

  gamegrid-add-score-insecure("foo" 10 "~/.emacs.d/games")
  gamegrid-add-score-with-update-game-score("foo" 10)
  gamegrid-add-score("foo" 10)
  eval((gamegrid-add-score "foo" 10))
  eval-last-sexp-1(t)
  eval-last-sexp(t)
  eval-print-last-sexp()
  call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp)

Also, if you call `game-grid-add-score' with an absolute filename
(which is the way the function should be called in Emacs 21.2), it
works the first time:

(gamegrid-add-score "/tmp/bar" 11)
=> nil  ;; this works.

but fails on subsequent calls:

(gamegrid-add-score "/tmp/bar" 12)
=>

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Failed to update game score file")
  signal(error ("Failed to update game score file"))
  error("Failed to update game score file")
  gamegrid-add-score-with-update-game-score-1("/tmp/bar" 12)
  gamegrid-add-score-with-update-game-score("/tmp/bar" 12)
  gamegrid-add-score("/tmp/bar" 12)
  eval((gamegrid-add-score "/tmp/bar" 12))

  eval-last-sexp(t)
