Another thing I noted is if you change the long_name and your new name is shorter than the old one in the .cfg file, you will get something like this:

Old name=Greater Faydark
New Name=Test

Name saved in zone.cfg = Testter Faydark

To get around this, pad out your new name with spaces, e.g.

update zone set long_name="Test<put enough spaces here to overwrite the old name>" where short_name="gfaydark" ;

As for what the .cfg files are used for, I think they have the safe co-ordinates for the zone, sky texture, and other such things. Not 100% sure.
