I guess this means you're trying to save the template itself.
Try this:
File - New Project
Load one or more images
File - Apply Template
select the template you created
File - Save Project
PTGui will now suggest the configured template folder as the location
for the project file.
And iff you would use the Batch Builder with this template, it will save
the project in the configured folder.
