What does your default RBI file have for an entry for projections?
By default, the writable resource is the last loaded.  Usually
that is %USERPATH%/projections.xml.  If you want to save projections,
you'll need to include that as well as your default:

  <!-- The list of projection table xml files  -->
  <resources name="application.resource.projections">
    <resource location="%USERPATH%/projections.xml"/>
    <resource location="%APPPATH%/projections.xml"/>
  </resources>

(guessing that you are setting apppath to /ucar/unidata/apps/geon, or
that is where GeonIdv is located).
