my original post was in beginner questions but i think it should be moved here!

i narrowed down the prob to one savefile and need assistance to faultfind the exact error.
this is an educational exercise for me, not emergency recovery.
i hope someone with in depth knowledge of savefiles and the linux filesystem within can correspond with me on this until its logical conclusion.
thanks
