Zak,

I tried editing the xml file with no success.
 What I did find was something that I should of seen before. 
When I create a data featuresource in webstudio and upload the sdf
"test.sdf", it uploads and shows the file in data resource, but in the data
location field it only shows  %MG_DATA_FILE_PATH% 
It should read, %MG_DATA_FILE_PATH%test.sdf
As before the file is in the library repository and is valid.
I am not sure what is causing this but I thought might have an idea
