If you are talking about ComSwiki, and not PWS Swiki, the password
protected swikis (the ones using security.xml files) are the same as the
others. I wrote the code and I'm sure that the security.xml has no
correlation to the saving or reading of files. So, I don't think your
diagnoses was completely correct. I don't doubt that there is a problem,
but I can assure you that it has nothing to do with the security.xml
functionality.
Peace and Luck!
