Two possible solutions:

(1) move the .gnubgpr file into the .gnubg directory and rename it to
    gnubgpr (without the leading dot)

(2) if it's possible to rename gnubgprXXXX to .gnubgpr we can 
    leave out the leading dot on the temp file.

If we go for solution (1) we have to tell all users to move their
.gnubgpr file into .gnubg/gnubgpr or provide some code that does it for
them.
