However, if I close Conboy and then open it again the changes are gone. Strangely this problem only applies to existing notes. If I create a new note then all the changes are saved when I close.

How did I get into this mess? I don't know. but last thing that happened before I noticed this issue is that I copied all my notes to my laptop using WinSCP and OpenSSH. When it asked me if I wanted to replace all notes on the laptop I selected newer only. Doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary there.

Could I have deleted something from the home/user/.Conboy folder or elsewhere that is needed to tell Conboy to save?

I have deleted all the notes and replaced them with the ones in my App data folder on my laptop where Tomboy uses as its watch folder but this does not fix the issue.
You've most likely changed the file owner to root. Issue a
chown -R user <name of conboy user folder>

Edit: checked and it's just .conboy, so open xterm, type
sudo gainroot
chown -R user .conboy

AFAIK anything you transfer to the N900 with winscp will be owned by root, so you'll always need to do this when moving things to your user directory.

Note that the problem actually probably didn't manifest until the step where you deleted them and then copied them from the laptop, or you had another issue before that which may still need to be addressed.

This is a perfect example of why doing things as root is dangerous...
