Aahhh...the amazing disappearing config entries problem... What you need to do is make sure that Evo is not running before you edit the config.xmldb file. Do this be running either killev or oaf-slay from the command line. After doing that you should be safe to edit the file. Apparently Evo writes it's config out to the config.xmldb file during it's shutdown process, so it never really reads your edits, and doesn't know they're there when it writes the file again.
