a failure to write, but I could be mistaken about that. Also, are you
sure you want kCFPreferencesAnyHost rather than
kCFPreferencesCurrentHost?

All the examples on Apple's site use kCFPreferencesAnyHost as the
default. The user I tested it with has admin permissions. How would I
know whether the user has permissions? How could I allow a user w/o
permissions to save the preferences? I am already requiring the user to
authenticate to run some shell scripts that make changes to the backend,
I could incorporate updating the preferences into that, but I'm not sure
how.

Just set the preferences from your setuid root tool.. If you're not already using a tool, I strongly suggest you read the Authorization Services documentation and the AuthSample/MoreAuthSample code from DTS. :-)
