& XSLT Well a DB is really way over doing what I need. The process that is
running will be running on a temporary computer and it will be wiped out
after each complete run. Performance is also not really that important.

Ideally what I would like to do is just iterate through the list of
nodes and just delete and commit to disk. But it starting to sound like
libxml is not meant for writing to disk or manipulating xml that is
meant to be written back to disk.

No, XML processing does not normally commit back to file. If you want  
to do that you'll have to write the file back yourself with every  
single modification, which is going to be slow. You probably want a  
database if that's what you need.
