Btw, I put all the code I posted before in farm/local/farmconfig.php.

That's probably because the group Site/ is shared... you could keep
Site/ from being shared. However, I want 'Site/' as the name of the shared 
group, so I did this instead:

$RecentChangesFmt = array(
  "$FieldGroup.AllRecentChanges" => 
  '* [[$Group.$Name]]  . . . $CurrentTime $[by] $AuthorLink',
  '$Group.RecentChanges' =>
  '* [[$Group/$Name]]  . . . $CurrentTime $[by] $AuthorLink');

where I've set '$FieldGroup' to 'Field', i.e. it's the name of a group 
that's specific to each field. My intention was that this would make 
AllRecentChanges be written to Field.AllRecentChanges rather than 
Site.AllRecentChanges. However, I'm not positive I got this working 
properly (there might be some conflict with urlapprove.php or something).

I hope this helps.
