I realised this morning that you can't download attachments to the SD card in Android 2.2 from the Gmail App (version 2.3.2 at the time I wrote this). I couldn't believe it at first but after googling a bit became clear that I am not the only one that experienced this issue.
Best solution I found online is the following:
1. Install ASTRO File Manager from the App Market
2. Go into Preferences of this app and tick the config parameter "Enable Browser Download"
3. After you do that, every time you press the preview button for the attachment in the Gmail App you will get prompted if you want to open it with ASTRO file download which will allow you to save it in the /sdcard/download folder with the name you wish.
