Another fairly quick way - once you know that .Mac is invisible - is to select all (apple-A) your screen saver files and move/copy them to a folder called Screen Saver, then delete the old Screen Saver folder in Library and move the newly created one in its place.

Mac OS may require you to verify an administrator password to modify the folder, if it is in System.

I should make note that the folder will probably be called Screen Savers (plural) and not Screen Saver. Sorry.
