yes, only regular text messages are saved, I think confirmation
reports aren't saved with model=AT because they look empty

parsing would be easier using smsd, see the example for the file module
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnokii.git/tree/smsd/action
but you would still get the "invalid location" error if location 1 is empty

with gnokii each message is deleted after writing to the file, with
smsd all sms in turn are read and sent to the backend, then all
deleted
