"def_shops.xml" editing doesn't work...

I have manually modded some stuff in TW2 (swords/armor stats, some appearances, etc...) and also tried my luck by adding items to some merchants (i.e. taking the base Meteorite Swords from act 2 and making the act 1 blacksmith to have schematics to sell), but for some strange reason, every mod runs fine EXCEPT for the changes made to "def_shops.xml".

I basically need:
1. Any idea why this happens? Does the current patch version has something to do with it?
2. Is there any way to solve this?

Note: I have tried downloading other mods regarding "def_shops.xml" file... They do not work either.

I read that something was changed, meaning some pre-EE mods didn't work (properly) any more, including changes to def_weights.xml. I compared some files from pre-EE and post-EE mods, but I couldn't see anything different. But maybe there have been big changes here that means you need to use a post-EE mod that has edited this file as a basis for the changes you want to make. The syntax may have changed.
