 simple typo confused me:

 # augtool
 augtool> set /file/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-most0/DEVICE most0
 augtool> set /file/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-most0/TYPE bridge
 augtool> ls /file/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-most0
 DEVICE = most0
 TYPE = bridge
 augtool> save
 augtool>
 [root at gigolo tmp]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-most0
 cat: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-most0: No such file or directory

 save silently fails? Not really, it's because corrects paths where
 filesystem is mapped start with /file'''s'''/ not /file/...

 To avoid confusion, I propose that augtool issues a warning if path
 outside /files/ or /augeas/ is used.
