No errors or anything in the logs? (I.e., the only effect you've
observing is that the rules in the external file have no effect?)

What happens when you introduce a syntactical error into the external
file (e.g. making it not well-formed) and reload the SP? Does it b0rk
as expected?

Does the external file need an XML namespace declaration?
If nothing else maybe xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:native:sp:config"?
