Wrong. You should not be directly editing anything under /etc/libvirt, but instead should be using 'virsh edit rmdev2' to make those changes. It may be because you went behind libvirt's back that your edits were not recognized, and that you had to end up undefining and re-creating a new guest before you got this to work the way you wanted.

One other thing to check, although I'm not sure it matters in your case (since you said that creating a new domain worked): when modifying network information, you may also need to modify libvirt's notion of the network, via such commands as 'virsh net-list' and 'virsh net-edit'.
