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.
