the one named in the reputation blacklist/whitelist section is the one that 
should have IP addresses in it... the other one is the one with rules in it...

FWIW: this came up about a year+ ago... at that time, i suggested to VRt that 
they rename the reputation blacklist/whitelist files to RP_whitelist and 
RP_blacklist specifically so denote them being related to the reputation 
processor... i recommend you do the same now and leave the other one named as it 
is... i don't recall which is which but your snort.conf will tell you ;)
