Remove the wrong positives afterwards:

start = nomefile.find("XX")
while start != -1:
    if nomefile[start:start+4] == "XXXX":
        start += 4
    else:
        print "XX found at location", start
        start += 3
    start = nomefile.find("XX", start)

By the way, what do you want to do if there are runs of "X" with repeats 
other than 2 or 4?
