    Have you tried the Office Ribbon Editor? It makes the XML portion very easy to manage. There might be a weird issue with the way you're currently doing it causing the xml to be removed from the file.

    I create custom tabs using the new fabric custom UI API and office ribbonX editor, which is open source and makes the life so much easier (I believe this may be the tool you're using), if not you should def give it a try. The tool comes in a pre-compiled version that is compressed. No need for admin rights or anything.
