First of all, I think this is a very great game.  However, I am unable to save my game.  It says, "can't open save game for file writing".  can anyone help with this?  I am running DSL off a pendrive.

The issue seems to be within the extension itself.

as a test, copy over the entire /simutrans directory to your /home/dsl,
and then run the executable file called simutrans. ( not the simu-start exec. )

Saves work OK doing it this way.

It saves to a dir called /save that it creates when you go thru the save process.

The issue is it can't create this directory while inside a read-only .uci file.
( The read only mount at /opt/simutrans )

One way to fix it would be to add a /home/dsl/save dir to the user.tar.gz file
that the simutrans.uci contains, and add a symlink inside the .uci
at /opt/simutrans/save to point to ~/save

Then rebuild the .uci

Once you have it working, upload your improved extension to DSL,
to share with the rest of the userbase.
