Phonegap: can't make localStorage persist

Question

So I init everything:

var Store = new Lawnchair({table:'mightapp', adaptor:'gears'}, 
    function(s) {
    var obj = {msg: 'hooray!'};

    s.save({key: "msg", value: obj});
});

Then I comment out the message to test if it persisted...

var Store = new Lawnchair({table:'mightapp', adaptor:'gears'}, 
    function(s) {
    //var obj = {msg: 'hooray!'};

    //s.save({key: "msg", value: obj});
});

And it doesn't -- what am I doing wrong? I'm making a fitness app and I need to persist people's workouts/workout stats pretty much permanently... should I just do some file i/o?

dom adapter works fine for me. Here is the code I am using to persist data across application restart.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var store = new Lawnchair({
        adapter: "dom",
        name: "testing"
    }, function(store) {
    });

    store.exists('dhaval', function(available){
        var preStr = "";

        // check whether required data is available, if not create it
        if(available){
            preStr = "data is already available, ";
        }else{
            preStr = "data is not available, ";
            var me = {
                key: 'dhaval'
            };

            // save it
            store.save(me);
        }

        // access it later... even after app restart!
        store.get('dhaval', function(me) {
            $("#data").html(preStr + JSON.stringify(me));
        });
    });
</script>
