Oof, you're using the Python based configuration? You might want to look
into the tilecache.cfg and follow the README -- it'd probably make your
life easier, especially for upgrades. (Though I appreciate your tenacity
if you got that far!) Did you get it working with that? If so, that's
great! 

The XML file you're describing is a Mapnik configuration file: I dont
think there's any documentation on them, beyond the C++ source for
Mapnik.  You might try asking on the mapnik mailing list/lists:
