You're looking in the wrong place (I did the same thing the first time I tried). Make sure you are looking in the folder with your user name on it:
In XP the saves are in the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\ %username% \Local Settings\Application Data\Divinity 2\Savegames
or in Vista / Win 7
C:\Users\ %username% \AppData\Local\Divinity 2\Savegames
The savegames have the extension ".dxg"
for example:
savegame32.dxg, where the "
32" is the savegame no.
