Gambatte on 1.2.2 on Galaxy S3 not saving states to correct directory

I have the save state and save file dirs configed to /storage/emulated/0/Download/ (Download folder on internal storage). When I try to save the state, it gives me the message that it failed to save the state and shows my ROM (file browser) directory on my external SD card. I’m sure the reason it failed to save to the SD card is because it doesn’t have root privileges (I have the same problem with the Wifi Transfer Pro app), but the point is that it’s not trying to save state in the configured directory. Is this fixed in nightlies?
