Trying to do what you described, I did manage to change those metadata hrough 
Digikam in the XMP file. However, I had to use the"XMP" panel of the "edit 
metadata" dialog

This is not the default panel, afaik, but it does seem to be 'sticky': when 
you reopen the dialog, the last active panel is still active. 

Perhaps that explains why you couldn't get your data written to the XMP files?
