The system rules will always stay there, you cant remove them. If you delete the security XML file you only lose the trigger count of the system rules.

I tested creating security rules and restarting Phex and could not find any error.
Do you see new created rules in the XML after exiting Phex?

Unfortunately, the file didn't show any changes. I completely uninstalled it and deleted the phex directory under my profile and then reinstalled the software. It looks like that it fixed the problem. I replaced the XML file and restarted phex and phex erased all my entries... I may have some sort of formatting error in the entries, so i'll double check those and let you know if it works.
