More problems with multiple domains and subaccounts

Question

I had been creating multiple .mac web sites in earlier versions of IWeb by creating extra “domain” files and dragging them in and out of the folder library/Application Support/IWeb as needed. Now I notice that IWeb 08 lets me store several domain files with different names in a folder, and pick whichever one I want when launching IWeb. That’s good -- but of course, the IWeb “Publish” command wants to publish them all to my same .dot mac web site -- even though I have four .dot mac subaccounts each of which can have its own web site. The only way I could figure out to publish different domain files to different .mac web sites was to create several different user accounts on my computer, assign each one to a different .mac subaccount, launch IWeb, find the domain file for that account, publish it -- then log out, log in to another account, launch IWeb there and do the whole exercise again.
It would be bad enough if that worked, but it doesn’t: I found that when I logged in to an account other than the one that created a given domain file, I could open that file (I’ve got it stored in a folder on root level of my hard drive), but I couldn’t save it -- I would get the error message: “Couldn’t save file. You don’t have permission to make changes to that file.” So OK, I went into “Get Info” and changed the ownernship/permissions to match the user account I was in. Now I can make changes and save my domain file -- but I can’t publish what I just saved. When I try, to get the message: “Publish Error. An unknown error occurred.”
Is there any way I make this all work -- to open and save my domain files and publish them to the .dot mac subaccount/web site I want? And is there any way around this whole clunky system that would allow me to publish to different .mac subaccounts/websites more efficiently (preferably logged into my Mac from the same user account)?
(It may be irrelevant, but in addition to paying for the subaccounts, I bought the family pack version of ILife what should give me legit access from a licensing point of view anyway.)

That's helpful -- I'll try it. It seems to me it would still be preferable to store my multiple domain files in one hard drive location, easily accessible and offering read and write privileges to any user account. That way I could at least do design work, etc., on any of my domains without logging in and out as various users. Any way to make that work? And really, it seems weird that I can sit at my Mac and mount the IDisks of any of my four .mac sub accounts, open their folders, and look at the web pages previously published to those subaccounts -- but apparently I can't publish any changes to those subaccounts/domains through IWeb without logging out and then back in as a different user. Isn't there some way around these apparent restrictions?
