Heh. Your attack totals are bad, but they get worse and worse and worse. Trust me on this. I've run third edition as high as 11th in the past, and the specialized fighter in the party regularly managed +18/+13/+8 with his bastard sword, and that was before bard-song got so much better. The damage he did was also quite atrocious.
One justification (and a good one) for not giving "personal" XP for things like traps is simply that the entire party is contributing to finding the trap, even if it's just by casting cure moderate wounds on the rogue so he feels confident enough to go and scout for traps.
I don't know why but I'm cursed with rogues who disarm traps by either being overconfident, setting them off and making their Reflex saves, or not noticing them, setting them off, and making their Reflex saves. Ask nattydreadi about Tylaris some time.
