I think that you are confusing things a bit. When you dump a NAND based game (card2), the save is part of the resulting ROM.
What game are you dumping, and what exactly are you renaming?
OK. Just so you know, the terminology that you used isn't quite correct. When most people talk about a NAND save, they are referring to card2 games like Pokemon (which Fire Emblem and almost all of the other games in the library are not.)
Now to answer your question, you have to rename the save not to what you name the ROM, but to its TitleID number which can be looked up by going here

1. Dump your ROM.
2. Rename your ROM to *.3DZ.
3. Dump your retail save and rename it to 000400*****.sav (search the correct number from http://3ds.essh.co).
Make sure you're using your OWN DUMPED ROM to read your retail save.
Otherwise the save will NEVER BE READABLE.

You shouldn't have to re-dump the ROM if you've already done it like you said in your first post.
ok i fucked up the filesystem on my exfat card1 micro sd card by trying to read it thru my phones SD reader because my other two readers stopped working.. apparantly i gotta do this all again with a newer reader, so until I get one, I'm kinda screwed
I have tried about 10 times with my copy of Mario Golf and the save keeps getting corrupt. It works fine for my other games though.
You can merge the split files using various methods. Search online and find a method that works on your operating system. Windows has a command line function for it. That command can be found on one of the other newer threads talking about ROM dumping and header patching (I can't remember where I read it, so you will have to search for it.) I'm sure that other OS have tools for that.
For some titles, it depends on the what the game is and how you played it before.
For example: Pokemon X played using Gateway classic mode will have a valid save that can be played after you dump the ROM. However, if you have Pokemon X that has been played only on a retail unit without the Gateway exploit, the save will always come up as corrupt no matter what you do.
Without knowing more specifics about what you are trying to dump, how you have played it before, etc, the amount of advice that we can give is limited to just generalities.

smokey flavor that reminds me of beef jerkey on top of a really rich kind of bbq sauce. Heat level that is a nice zing, not overwhelming, but it tingles all the way down your throat+1

@Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal! -

It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.

I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.
