SaveFileDialog() always returns empty string

This used to work ... but now it always returns an empty string.

The code below is straight from the T3D scripting manual ... modified for DTS models.

// Create a dialog dedicated to saving a file
 %saveFileDlg = new SaveFileDialog()
 {
    // Only allow for saving of DTS files
    Filters = "DTS Files (*.dts)|*.dts|";

    // Default save path to where the WorldEditor last saved
    DefaultPath = $pref::WorldEditor::LastPath;

    // No default file specified
    DefaultFile = "";

    // Do not allow the user to change to a new directory
    ChangePath = false;

    // Prompt the user if they are going to overwrite an existing file
    OverwritePrompt = true;
 };

 // Launch the save file dialog
 %result = %saveFileDlg.Execute();

 // Obtain the file name
 %selectedFile = "";
 if ( %result )
    %selectedFile = %saveFileDlg.file;

// added for debugging
       echo("*** selectedFile = (" @ %selectedFile @") ***");
       %saveFileDlg.dump();
       echo("*** ----------------------------------------- ***")
//

 // Cleanup
 %saveFileDlg.delete();

first found it here;
docs.garagegames.com/torque-3d/reference/classSaveFileDialog.html

Then, another version is here ... which doesnt use %openFileDlg.file incorrectly;
docs.garagegames.com/torque-3d/reference/classFileDialog.html

And it was working 12/7/2011 ... unless I was imagining it.

here is a dump of the output
