Hi,
Thanks for reporting this problem. If you open Fetch, create a new shortcut manually, quit Fetch, and open Fetch again, is the new shortcut there?
Thanks,

I had tried a variation of manually adding a shortcut without success. Just tried again, exactly as you described. Quit the program, reopen Fetch and alas the manually created shortcut is not in the Shortcuts list.

It sounds like there's a problem with saving information to the shortcuts file. Here's what I'd do:
1) Use the Save a Copy as… command in the File menu to save your shortcuts to a separate shortcut list file (don't check the "Make these my default shortcuts" checkbox)
2) Quit Fetch
3) In the Finder, choose Go to Folder… from the Go menu and paste:~/Library/Preferences
and click Go
4) Find the file named com.fetchsoftworks.Fetch.Shortcuts.plist and drag it to the trash
5) Open Fetch
6) Open the shortcut list file you created in step 1
7) Choose Show Shortcuts from the Shortcuts menu
8) Option-drag the shortcuts from the "Fetch Shortcuts" window that appeared in step 6 to the window that appeared in step 7
9) Quit Fetch
10) Open Fetch and choose Show Shortcuts from the Shortcuts menuDo you see your shortcuts?
Thanks,

Following the steps outlined in this tech note:

Old Macintosh to New Macintosh. I am able to open the saved shortcuts file and then drag and drop into the copy of Fetch (v5.7.5) that is running. While Fetch is still running (same session) I can close the shortcuts window and then reopen the window and the shortcuts list is "current". However, when I Quit and the Reopen Fetch, the shortcuts that were dragged 'n dropped are not there. I manually add/created a new shortcuts in the "default list" after dragging 'n dropping - closed the window and then reopened. The old shortcuts and the new item are also not preserved.
I can create a new ShortCuts list, drag and drop the "old" collection there - save the list/file, close and they are preserved when that file is opened again.
OS X v10.8.5 w/ Fetch v5.7.5
