That should be: ^["&<>%()]*$
(using + instead of * at the end adds the restriction that the field 
must contain at least one character).

The other problem you're having is that you're putting this in an XML 
document.  Either it must be valid XML (for example, & -> &amp;), or it 
must be enclosed in a CDATA block.
