I found it. The default directory structure is slightly different between my two machines (Admin folder is not present on the other computer). I had to change the last line in the config.xml file to point DOM to my cinemas file.
:D

The only thing that's puzzling me (maybe a bug?) is both installations of DOM find the config.xml file just fine - even when copied from one computer to the other. Why can't it also automatically look for the cinemas file via the same machine-specific path (since config.xml and cinemas.xml reside in the same folder)?

Because the cinemas.xml can be configured in preferences to go anywhere. We could make a special case for when the cinemas.xml is in the same directory as config.xml, but that might get confusing.
