Roy:

At first: I think the XREG files are saved by Jetspeed every time you shut
down Tomcat.
Second: Jetspeed makes use of a cache. So the RSS files are not accessed
directly. Please have a look at jetspeed/web-inf/cache. You might also want
to have a look at the BadURLManager portlet which is accessible through
Jetspeed after you have logged in as the administrator.

I don't think that files on localhost are treated differently. Make sure you
accessed them correctly.

Did you change/insert the former entries in the XREG and PSML files? Please
send me their content. I might be able to give you more advice.

Matthias
