The newest xastir-migrate.sh

I did this and the config file reflects the the new correct locations

However, then I restart xastir and then check the config script and the OLD 
locations  have been put back in the config script.  Thus no maps etc...

Is there a file I should be deleting prior to restarting xastir so the config 
file will stay correct?
