Classic Frustrated with My Books App

[LDesjardin]

Having just softrooted, I find myself very frustrated with the My Books App. I upgraded it today (0.1.7) but still have the same issue. I would like to put my own tags in there under the 'show' feature, so that they are at the top of the list. I followed the instructions here (as well as under the 'help' in the app):

I wrote the code in notepad and saved it as UTF-8 as an xml file. I put the file in the root of the Nook and still I get no result. I have tried it a number of different ways and still nothing. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
