Of course the changes won't be in any of the account_*.xml files, because you changed things through the BOINC Account Manager BAM!, which has its own output file (of which I don't know the name, but it's probabaly something like account_manager.xml, or bam_account_manager.xml) with all the information of the projects you added, their resource share, your account keys for them, whether you want to use the CPU/GPU/other, your computing preferences, etc.

Account_*.xml files contents are only changed when you change information within on the project's website.

What happens if you hit update in the client for any of you changed projects? At that point it would read into memory what the file contains is my guess.

As far as I know, Update is greyed out for projects added through an account manager, they have a sync option. In any case, for projects added through an account manager BOINC will read only the info from the account manager file, and ignore the contents of any account_*.xml files those may still have.

WCG and BAM don't play well together, and will not synchronize resource share. You will have to go to the WCG website and change it manually.
