This is the thing i just downloaded inkscape and tried the technique. I had no problems at all.
Let me repeat the steps to make sure u got everything right
1. Make a circle 2. Draw a path (draw bezier curves and straight lines or CTRL + F6) that cuts trough the circle (leave the path open, don't close it) 3. Select the circle and the path 4. Go to Path/Division or CTRL + / 5. Now the circle is cut in 2 pieces 6. Go to FIle/Inkscape Preferences then find Steps and change Inset/Outset by to 0.5 7. Now select both pieces of the circle 8. Go to Path/Inset or CTRL + {
and it's done. Just to mention one thing INSET moves the border inside for the set amount OUTSET moves it outside. The reason u set the inset to 0.5 px is because the border is 1 px wide so when u inset both borders by 0.5 u get the right distance. (they touch each other but don't overlap).

Great tutorial! And a good input with the territory cut up by going for the points of other lines and not the middle region. Will definetly mind that in my map making in the future :)
