If that's all the line actually says, of course rxvt isn't going to pay the
slightest attention.  You haven't created a resource that it SHOULD pay
attention to.

X resources are hierarchial.  The name of the file they're defined in is
entirely irrelevant.

So, try this:

rxvt*background:        black
rxvt*foreground:        white

I don't know for sure what class name rxvt actually uses, but a preusal of
the documentation will tell you.
