Steve, I struggled with these errors quite a few months ago, and never figured them out. Talkwith borrows some code from the speakupconf load section, but makes no effort to save anything. I think the problem lies with the speakupconf save function. I am unable still to get that to work without the errors you mentioned. I have essentially abandoned trying to save updated parameters that way, and update them manually, which is a pain, but produces files that can be loaded back into speakup safely. I don't know if others have this experience or not, but my own solution was no solution at all, just a kludge.
