auto-saves is not empty ATM, but auto-save-list is:

(dired "/Users/sds/.emacs.d/auto-save-list/*")

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Reading directory" "no such file or 
directory" "/Users/sds/.emacs.d/auto-save-list/*")
  access-file("/Users/sds/.emacs.d/auto-save-list/*" "Reading directory")
