found it:

,---------------------------------------------------------------------
| Command: write-region start end filename &optional append visit
| 
| This function writes the region (of the current buffer) delimited by
| start and end into the file specified by filename.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Normally, write-region displays a message `Wrote file filename' in
| the echo area. If visit is neither t nor nil nor a string, then this
| message is inhibited. This feature is useful for programs that use
| files for internal purposes, files which the user does not need to
| know about.
`---------------------------------------------------------------------

so 

,-------------------------------------------
| (write-region nil nil filename nil 'VISIT)
`-------------------------------------------

gets rid of the message.
