I would say this is not a bug.

The script checks the root directories of all "harddisks" and cdroms for 
etc.tar.bz2.
save-config is not yet modified to use the devfs, so the search doesn't 
include IDE "harddisks" yet.

"harddisks" means any devices which are or emulate harddisks (usb 
sticks, cf cards)
