autosave/backup file problem

[Jannis]

Hi emacs users,


i have the problem that emacs creates

.#filename.txt

files in the directory file while working on a file. These files create 
problems when I want to automatically create Software packages of the 
parent folder.

Is there any way to tell emacs to create these files in a different 
location?


I have put the following in my .emacs file but it seems to not change 
the behaviour of the above mentioned files:


;; Put autosave files (ie #foo#) and backup files (ie foo~) in ~/.emacs.d/.
(custom-set-variables
  '(auto-save-file-name-transforms '((".*" "~/.emacs.d/autosaves/\\1" t)))
  '(backup-directory-alist '((".*" . "~/.emacs.d/backups/"))))


Thanks a lot for your help!
