Here's more. Just renaming guisettings.xml and leaving it in the userdata folder wipes out the settings. I say this because renaming it back to original does not restore the settings. So if I even touch that file it's corrupted. Not good.
Edit: I noticed the giusettings.xml file size after I make all my settings is 25.58KB. So I just renamed guisettings.xml and rebooted. The size of a fresh guisettings is 24.96KB. After deleting the file and renaming the original back to guisettings.xml and rebooting the file size changed back to 24.96KB. I do notice the file size does grow a bit as I move around XBMC. Never noticed that before. I guess it settles down once you've accessed all the different parts of the gui.
Oh and when I speak of rebooting what I really mean is just relaunching XBMC, not pulling the plug. So I don't see how this is a hardware problem or a flakey unit as this has happened to me on three separate boxes.
