What does the message say? If it says "Wrote /foo/bar", then you
cannot disable it from Lisp, currently: this message comes from the
write-region primitive on the C level, not from a call to Lisp-level
function `message'. The message which precedes that, the one which
says "Saving file /foo/bar...", should be disabled by flet-binding
`message' to nil, I think.

No amount of fiddling with Lisp-level `message' facilities will be
ever able to do what you want. I suggest to file a feature request
(with "M-x report-emacs-bug RET") asking for a variable that could be
bound to disable all messages, even those coming from the C level.
