loadRSS() does northing if the RSS doc was already loaded. You can probably do:

layer.loaded = false;
layer.loadRSS();

to force reload.

Note that this operation relies on properties that aren't part of the
API. These properties can therefore be removed or renamed in future
versions of OpenLayers.

If you want your app to rely on API properties only, you can probably
create a new GeoRSS layer each time you need reloading the GeoRSS
document. If you think this isn't appropriate and a reload() API
method is required, come up with good case for introducing this API
method and it will be considered for inclusion into OpenLayers.

Cheers,
