I think it's because the filename had a "+" in it. I went to play the game again tonight and it didn't load the most recent save. I checked the SD card and this time the most recent save file was in the atari 2600 rom folder for some strange reason! I renamed the rom to "FF3.nes" and now it seems to be creating and loading the save file in the proper directory.

I'll have to test those this weekend hopefully. I think I called the rom "ff3newtranslation.nes" or something like that. Filename shouldn't really make a difference should it?

I don't think it is. I manually patched the rom. The only way I've found for the game to find the save file is to place the rom in the root directory, because that's where the system generates the .sav file for whatever reason. I'm not sure if it's because it's MMC5 or what. Other NES roms on the system that use savefiles just generate the savefile in whatever folder the rom is. I hope that made sense. I'm not even sure if this translation works with the N8. Unfortunately I don't have one to test. I'm using the jailbreak firmware to load the rom.

So I tried out a newer Final Fantasy III (Famicom) Translation on the NT mini yesterday that changes the game to MMC5, and it worked fine, and saving worked too. https://www.romhacking.net/translations/2701/ However, the save file is created in the root of the SD card, and not the directory that the ROM is in. So when I turned the system off and came back later, there were no saves showing on the game, but once I moved the ROM to the root directory of the SD, it was able to pull up the saves. Figured I'd post that here in case anyone else has this issue.
