        for(I in M.overlays)
            M.overs.Add(I)
            M.overlays.Remove(I)
    RestoreOvers()
        var/icon/I

Your for()s aren't working correctly.
Just loop through everything in the lists.

for(var/I in M.overlays)
//and
for(var/I in M.overs)


and don't forget to add your RestoreOvers() to your load proc unless you don't want it there ;).

Load()
    var/savefile/F=new(ckey)
    Read(F)
    RestoreOvers()//after reading the file of course.

There're demos on this, and very simple systems they are too.

mob
  var/list/Overlays=list() // Mind the capitalized "O"
  proc/update()
    src.overlays=null // Reset his overlays completely.
    for(var/i in Overlays) src.overlays+=i
// For everything in Overlays (referred to as i), add it to overlays.

// Now, when adding/removing overlays..

mob/verb/Add_Overlay()
  usr.Overlays+=/obj/overlay
  usr.update()

mob/verb/Remove_Overlay()
  usr.Overlays-=/obj/overlay
  usr.update()
