Why are there strange characters (“ and â€) at the start and end of "save.html"? Could they be part of the problem?

It would be nice if I new exactly what was causing that issue, however that isn't the case. The whole file path shouldn't be their in the first place, as it wasn't specified in the action.

You have to give the whole file name, including its path.

You get such “save.html†characters if text with Unicode characters is interpreted as ANSI

It would be best to avoid such special characters in file names and remove or replace them with valid characters when saving the file.

I think that is my problem. Besides using this software are there any other settings that can be configured to prevent this from happening.
