Hi Lindsay I used to get this issue with loadVariables and LoadVars.. When you publish the movie Flash is trying to load stuff from the local file system and shits itself.. because the script is treated as a text/plain file in that context. I stick the absolute path to the file on my local dev server and it works.
Not sure how this affects the xml file as that isn't parsed on a server... maybe though you have to force Flash to load it via a http:// url for it to work properly? The other thing is to replace spaces (%20) with _ and see if that works.. spaces can cause trouble sometimes..
