    The problem is this line:
    IF rsp.Parse(ReadAsciiFile(xml))

    ReadAsciiFile is intended for reading local text files into a string. You already have a string from your roUrlTransfer request. You also have your rsp and xml variables backwards. Change the first few lines to this, and you should be good...
       http = CreateObject("roUrlTransfer")
       http.SetUrl("http://roku.jjtdigital.net/salvation_army2/videos.xml") 
       rsp = http.GetToString() 
       xml = CreateObject("roXMLElement")
       If xml.Parse(rsp) Then
       ...
