When you removed the xml did you also remove all files that came with the plugin

in postbit template change it to what i have below as you seem to have parts different

<vb:if condition="$show['reportlink']">
                    &nbsp;<a class="report" href="{vb:raw post.reportlink}" rel="nofollow" title="{vb:rawphrase report_bad_post}"><!-- <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/report-40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase report_bad_post}" /> -->&nbsp;</a> &nbsp;
                    </vb:if>

Also check all templates for report.gif and change them to report-40b.png should be 6 templates in total image below
