You're making changes at the console you can't make in the menu, such as CYCLE_RUBBER, right? You can't save them, you have to edit them in settings.cfg where they are defined. Better, heed the advice in settings.cfg and copy them over to a new file called autoexec.cfg and make your personal changes there. settings.cfg will be overwritten when you upgrade.

Create autoexec.cfg in ~/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced/var (or config). Make sure in TextEdit.app that you editing in plaintext (Format -> Make Plain text, it will say Make Rich Text if you are already in Plain text).

Never modify files inside the Armagetron Advanced.app bundle. Put moviepacks at ~/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced, resources (maps) at ~/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced/resource/…, etc…. The ~ means your home directory.
