Mike, It sounds like you are following all of the right steps. I find it trickier than I would expect to successfully make changes to the facets.
If it is helpful, I have posted a copy of our discovery.xml file: https://gist.github.com/terrywbrady/d31fc1bcb9567204470f We have created a number of collection-specific sidebar facets. I have found it necessary to define a search filter each time that I need to add a new sidebar facet. I have also found it tricky to apply different custom facets at different levels of the hierarchy (collection vs sub-community).
