Ok I got it working, I followed a few of your suggestions, and simply copied my plist to a dictionary before I wrote to it, and then added the profile attributes in a child dictionary. I then used the profile name as a key for the parent dictionary, then wrote back the parent dictionary back to the plist. Works great.

Embed your dictionary profiles in a dictionary whose keys are the name

of the profiles and the related values the profile.
