Hello,
I am using nav services to load and save files. When I save my
file, I want the location that comes up to be the same location as the
file's location that was last loaded, if any. What do I have to do to
ensure that? Do I have to set the default location after I load a
file? I am specifiying a preference key, which is the same value, for
my load and save dialogs, but what else do I need to do?

The preference key should do it. If you're calling
CFPreferencesAppSynchronize the info should persist across launches. Be sure
you're using same key for multiple open and save dialogs only if you want
them to default to the same location each time, and use a different key for
other Nav dialogs which the user would use to navigate to another location.
You can look in you .plist prefs file to see if information is being saved.
You'll see entries like this:

AppleNavServices:ChooseFile:1097623923:Path

where 1097623923 is the key. This one is 'Alis' (that's one of my keys).
