Don't you have to add (delete-trailing-whitespace) to
your write-file-hook??

I made a version based on yours that is almost perfect...

   (defun cs-delete-trailing-whitespace() (interactive)
      (delete-trailing-whitespace)
      (let ((original-pos (point)))
         (goto-char (point-max))
         (delete-blank-lines)
         (goto-char original-pos)))
 
and

(add-hook            'write-file-hooks        'cs-delete-trailing-whitespace)


For some reason these additions make me unable to do save-buffer!!!
I can't do M-x save-buffer anymore!!

M-x save-buffers-kill-emacs still works for some reason.
