GPX Version:
Set it 1.0.1 (Compatible).
Then regenerate the GPX files.

That should allow your device to see them properly.

There's a few ways to do it:

Got to http://geocaching.com.au/my/settings and make sure your GPX format is set to 1.0.1 (compatible)
Then you should be ably to save any GCA GPX file on to your Oregon just fine by saving the GPX file to the GPX folder (I think)

OR (even easier)
Go to the caches page and select 'Send To GPS'

OR even easier again (and quicker):
go to http://geocaching.com.au/my/query and create a query for all caches in your state and then use the "GPS" link and it'll send them all in one hit!
The best thing about the query generator is you can include/exclude cache types you don't like and remove caches that don't meet your requirements. I think it's the best way to do it.
