From the idea I got from Scotty I went back and Made a bitmap copy of the rectangle, got rid of the original vector and then the eraser tool worked like a charm. Thanks Scotty. Also thanks Gary for chiming in. I was just going at it the wrong way!!!!
Why use bitmap when you can retain all in vector?

you are not erasing a line - you are erasing a rectangle with an outline and no fill - so what you see as you erase is the outline moving to stay with the new edge of the partly erased rectangleWhen I use the eraser tool all it does is distort the line instead of erasing it. What am I missing?
I would do it like egg...

Or a white glow shadow with 0% blur and 0% transparency ... adjust the width of the glow shadow to suit (click and drag). That way the white stays outside the boundary of the leaves.
As Acorn says though make sure you put the rectangle behind the leaf.
No erasing necessary.
EDIT:
Stick to the line and the clone that Acorn suggested ... The line is vector, whilst the shadow is raster, and even with the blur set to 0, it doesn't clean up well. If only we could adjust the line position as Serif Designer can ... Ahh well hoping for new vector abilities is probably a waste of time - especially for a PRO GRAPHIC APPLICATION ... it's getting to be time they dropped the PRO designation.

Like a lot of things in Xara there are many ways to achieve the same result. The problem with using shadows is your introducing a bitmap, destroying the all vector approach. Acorns method retains a vector but if placed over a none white background retains a white edge all around the leaf.
