Distributed Load Test - Save Responses to File Location

I am using jmeter 2.7.  I'm performing distributed non-GUI load-testing
with 7 Windows 7 x64 PCs.

The jmeter load test has "Save Reponses to File" in it, but it doesn't
appear to work.
After running the test, I do not see any response files anywhere - i.e.
neither on jmeter-server PCs, nor on the "master" PC.

Below is how I have the "Save Reponses to File" set up in the load test
itself:

Test Plan
+Thread Group
-+Save Responses to File
-+HTTP Request Sampler
-+etc

And here's the configuration of "Save Responses to File":

- Filename Prefix: c:\jmeterlocal\Moodle\VSendEmail\Responses
- Variable Name: FILENAME
- I have also added a checkmark to "Save Failed Responses Only"  (every
load test I run does result in failures, so I'm expecting some files to be
generated)

And here's my jmeter run command: (not real IP addresses)

jmeter -n -t
C:\shared\LoadTesting\Moodle\Projects\AttemptQuiz\JMeterTestPlans\AttemptQuiz.jmx
-R
88.88.88.0,88.88.88.1,88.88.88.2,88.88.88.3,88.88.88.4,88.88.88.5,88.88.88.6
-l C:\jmeterlocal\Moodle\AttemptQuiz\Results\Result-0171-AttemptQuiz.jtl

Where are my load test response files?
Should I *not* be expecting response files to be generated since this is a
distributed load test?

Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Remove the listeners or disable them and instead use the -J command line
parameter.
Google for "jmeter command line" for more info.

Any errors in the log files?

Have you checked both "Save Failed Responses only" and "Save
Successful Responses only" ?
If so, nothing will be saved.

Does the exact same test plan work OK in non-GUI local (not client-server) mode?

You could try adding a Java Sampler with Status = BAD to force a failed sample.
