Comment:

 pidgin does not delete the buddies from the local blist.xml file because
 it is never told to by the server. If, instead of your manual hackery, you
 issued the correct roster additions/deletions pidgin would honor those
 requests and clean up the roster locally.

 This sounds like you are attempting to implement a poor-man's version of a
 shared roster group (though for the entire roster instead of just by-
 group. Is that correct? If so this really isn't the right way to do that.
