Here is the $52,000 question:

Does anyone know where the preferences for the 'Location' system preference is stored?

It is not stored in the Users domain, and I cant seem to locate it. I want to do a clean install but CANT lose my locations.....thanks!

This information is stored in /var/db/SystemConfiguration/preferences.xml.

Be careful. The contents of this file are slightly different in 10.2, though the Internet Location information stored in it remains unchanged.
