You probably have something simple not set correctly.
The first step with empty profiler is you would select Add DatFile
Then you are able to either select just one XML or all 353 of them.
Next step when it asks where do you want to put the DATs you would create a directory named software and all that DATs will go in there (folder tree view in left side of CMP profiler)
After the above steps, the entire operation is established in the profiler.
The key is having the 3 batch mode windows (scanner, Rebuilder, Misc) set correctly and off you go. Maintaining everything is pretty simple.
As you have found out RV does work for a lot of people. The last I tried it though, you can't set specific directories or have a root path like roms or software, so It requires everything to be in Toosort or w/e it defaults to and moving stuff back and forth would drive me crazy!
With ClrMAME, in my case, all the XMLs are in roms and that's where my software list directories reside as well. It only takes a few minutes to batch scan everything and adding the new or updated lists to that profile is extremely simple.
