I'm not sure if your problem is with saving or opening the file.
To verify that saving works, you could try e. g. the following:

* Create a sample diagram containing just one shape
* File->Save As... (Where do you save the file and what is the name?)
* Close Dia
* Locate the file and verify in on another computer. If you don't have
one available, you could send it to sdteffen gmail com

To verify that opening works:
* Start Dia
* Try the recent files list - it's at the bottom of The Dia File menu.
* Your sample file should be right there.

Or

* Download a sample file like
http://bauingenieurseite.de/abwasser/belebungA131.dia
* Start Dia
* Use File->Open to open the downloaded file.

Note that there is one thing NOT working (yet): Dia on Mac OS X
is not able to open files when you double-click on them in Finder.
You always have to start Dia first and then use File->Open to open your 
files.

If this does not help, could you provide additional information on your 
system?
E.g. which language do you use?

I assume that you're using the DMG from

http://dia-installer.de/download/macosx.html
