Interesting. According to the plist file you attached earlier iTunes seems to think that it's creating an xml file in the ~/Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries/ folder.
I've found an eariler thread you started regarding this issue (
www.serato.com) and there was a suggestion in there that Andy made that might help remedy this situation:

This really is the last thing I can think of that might help, it's quite a severe operation but it sounds like the only option:
If you now have a valid database in the main folder (date/time of "iTunes Library" updates when you change something), try this:
- Close iTunes if it's open.
- Delete the XML you made but leave the "iTunes Library" database where it is.
- In Finder, go to your <home>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist and rename it by adding a dash or two to the end of ".itunes", before ".plist".
This will make iTunes open as if it was run for the first time, apart from the fact that there's already a library there.
If this all goes wrong, quit iTunes, delete the new plist file that gets made when you run iTunes and rename the old one back to what it was.
- Now run iTunes again and answer "no" to all of the questions the wizard asks about finding your music etc.
- Close iTunes and see if the "iTunes Music Library.xml" files gets generated now.
If that worked, you'll need to go back through the Preference menu inside iTunes and set things up the way you used to have it.
If you feel confident are you able to try this out? If you do, please remember to follow Andys instructions
exactly.
Failing that I'm afraid there's nothing else I can suggest. As it is an iTunes issue you may wish to post on the Apple forums and see if anyone has a solution.
