I switched to Google Reader about 6 months ago and I am getting on
really well with it. You can "like" or "share" items if you are into
that, or star them to read later. You can look at stats about all your
feeds too, including things like how popular they are (based on number
of other people who subscribe to them in Google Reader). There is loads
of useful functionality and all your publicly shared items are viewable
by anyone, eg mine:
http://www.google.com/reader/shared/ianji33
People can even subscribe to an Atom feed of your shared items in any
RSS reader (if they use Google Reader themselves it is even easier for
them to follow you).
But even if you are not into the social aspect it might be useful for
you to be able to do your feed reading from any machine with a browser,
and it would solve your immediate problem too.
As long as you can export your current feeds then you should be able to
import them into Google Reader. It is of course free, and worth a try
(unless you have a particular aversion to Google of course).

Note, when I first started reading RSS (before Safari could handle it) I
used an app called NetNewsWire. Later they got bought by NewsGator and I
got a free NewsGator Online account. NetNewsWire synced with NewsGator.
Then NewsGator announced that they were closing their service and that
NetNewsWire would be updated to sync with Google Reader instead (since
so many people were already using it). I transferred my stuff to Google
Reader and tried the web interface, which was good enough that I decided
to forget abut a dedicated app and do all my reading over the web.

I use NetNewsWaire. Works great! :)

Can't help, but I can suggest NewsFire. All it does is RSS, and it does it
very very well.

Not sure what you mean.

I'm using Safari Version 4.0.4 (6531.21.10) under Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and am
not expeiencing any problems accessing RSS feeds. Perhaps an uninstall of
Safari followed by a reinstall would help. As an aside, I use App Zapper when
I do an uninstall.

I'm also one that when encountering a problem first tries a reboot. I guess I
assumed that you had already done that. Glad things are again working!

I use NetNewsWire at home, where I read a number of feeds. But I use
Safari at work, for just a couple of feeds.
I haven't encountered the error you got, but occasionally Safari will
show an unread count for a feed in the bookmarks bar, even though there
aren't any unread messages. Restarting Safari always clears this up for
me.

Diagnostics, mainly. If logging out fixes the problem, it's a user
configuration problem, it you have to reboot, it's a system problem. In
general, just to get things going, I reboot.
BTW, I read the couple-three RSS feeds I follow in Firefox. As much as I
hate to say it, Twitter is pretty good at it too.

That's basically the path I took with it, though I skipped the
Newsgator account.
Google's Reader is excellent - both on the desktop and on an iPhone.
Their mobile-browser optimized version is excellent and very
efficient.
It's especially nice that since it's on the 'net, the whole tracking
of what's new and what you've read and such is all there and
syncronized regardless of where or how you are reading.
The downside, of course, for those who care (I'm not one) is that
Google knows what blogs you are reading. Since so many of them are
already using Google's tracking if you go to the site directly,
chances are that Google already knows you're reading a given site
anyway.
The upside is that it just works. And beautifully.

Simply to find out if you can get away with just a log out and log in.

May I suggest Netnewswire? It's a decent RSS reader and it syncs
against Google Reader so when you're not at your mac you can still catch
up with your RSS feeds online.
