I'm about to give up & write a small console app to do the modification for me when passed the location of the xml file & the path I need added to it & then schedule it using QtExec as I've tried both util:XMLFile & util:XMLConfig & neither work. It doesn't help that their documentation consists solely of very basic descriptions of their attributes in the Util schema section.
