I have a TM-D1000 as well, and it's terrible at syncing to S/PDIF.  It
gives me the "Clock Error!  Fs -> Internal" message all the time.  I
have it slaved to a Roland S/PDIF out.  It's so bad for me that I leave
the mixer showing the clock selection page all the time so I can hit
Enter quick to restore sync to Digital In A.

In your case, you should have the following setup:

Mixer A: XL-7 connected to Digital In A.  Clock source: Digital In A.

Mixer A: RCA cable connected from Word Clock out to...
Mixer B: ...Work Clock in.  Clock source: Word Clock in

Soundscape: Clock source: T/DIF In

Make sure you try different cables for the S/PDIF routing.  They always
say use very high-quality shielded RCA cables, but sometimes crappy
ones have worked better for me.  Try a bunch, and see which works best.

I'm sure rEalm meant that something ELSE will automatically sync to the
XL-7 once a cable is connected, as the XL-7 cannot slave to external
clock.

There's some capacitor that you could remove, but I don't know what it
is, and it would CERTAINLY violate FCC!  =)
