Try setting the group name (-g group) as an option on the save.  You
can even specify the pool name (-b pool) if you want to do fancy
things.

I don't recall what it uses if you don't specify the group explicitly,
but I'm guessing that it is not the one that you are after.

You might also want to avoid "manual" level by explicitly specifying a
level (-l level).  You'll probably want to use "full" for most cases.
See recent postings for a little more information.
