this was in relation to a .qtl, not the .webloc files. i ended up
trashing my preferences file and the problem seems to have been
resolved.

I don't think that's true, if you do:

more www.barebones.com/.webloc

you get something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/Proper
tyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>URL</key>
        <string>http://www.barebones.com/</str
ing>
</dict>
</plist>

which would seem to be just a utf-8 encoded xml file. Interestingly, if
you do:

bbedit www.barebones.com\:.webloc 

you get:

bbedit: Unsupported URL scheme: www.barebones.com:.webloc
