But when I tried it, instead of rebuilding the library from the xml file it changed the xml file to match the empty library file. (no empty text file needed. It creates a new itunes file, and did nothing to a text file named iTunes Library)
I think the reason an empty file is supplied is to trick iTunes into thinking it is corrupt so a rebuild is triggered. Some reports even have you emptying and using the original file. What you did possibly triggers a different process.
