Hey, thanks guys, now I understand a little better. One of the articles you're pointing says: "Currently, the only technique you can reliably use is to override _save_FIELD_file on your model. This isn't quite the same as save_FOO_file that's officially documented."
I in fact followed the documentation and that led me in the wrong direction... Anyway, now it's working so that's cool!
