Having looked into it further, you're right.  For some inexplicable reason
it's not putting the files where the manual says they should be - instead of
a directory called "eyeBeam n.n" they're in a folder called 'RegNow Basic',
but the .CPS files there are indeed in XML rather than binary format.  When
I last looked, I suspect I assumed that eyeBeam stored it's configs in the
X-Lite directory and was thus looking at the configs for the free version
that were no longer being accessed.

That does help a little for provisioning, as I can at least generate the
configs and then place them someone central, but actually getting them to
the phone is still kludgey.  Since they are in the Local Settings folder,
they can't be made part of a roaming profile.  I've tried moving the
CounterPath directory from "\Documents and Settings\username\Local
Settings\Application Data" to "\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data", but the phone never references the configs held there.  Right now
(with X-Lite) i'm configuring each phone manually, then zipping up the
configs and storing them in a location named for the windows username.  On
login, the zipfile is fetched and unzipped to the right location.  Inelegant
to be sure, but it works.  XML just saves me having to do the configuration
manually.

In any case, this is now going down an OT path - I'll take it up with
CounterPath on their forums.  Thanks for the pointer.
