I want my backup and autosave files not scattered over my HD.
For this I tried:
  (if (file-directory-p "~/.emacs.d/backup")
      (setq backup-directory-alist '(("." . "~/.emacs.d/backup")))
    (message "Directory does not exist: ~/.emacs.d/backup"))
  (if (file-directory-p "~/.emacs.d/autosave")
      (setq auto-save-file-name-transforms `((".*" "~/.emacs.d/
autosave/\\1" t)))
    (message "Directory does not exist: ~/.emacs.d/autosave"))

For backups this works. But my autosave files are saved as:
    ~/.emacs.d/autosave/#\1#
What do I need to do to get the same type of files with autosave as
with backup?
