Hmmm, are you sure you are modifying the correct config file?
You may be modifying one config file, and the rtrmgr may be reading
a default config file located somewhere else.

Here is what I did:
1. I copied your original config file, and removed all /* and */
2. I started the rtrmgr by explicitly specifying the config file,
   and by specifying verbose output:

  ./xorp_rtrmgr -b my_config.boot -v

In my test I didn't see the error you had, so make sure that the
rtrmgr is actually started with the correct config file.
The first 6 lines should contain info about the boot file location,
the directory with the template files, etc, so make sure this info
is correct. E.g., make sure that the directory with the template
files doesn't point to a location to some old files.
