An easy way to check this is to use the 'pl' command-line utility:

[p6:5008] ~%pl < /private/var/db/SystemConfiguration/preferences.xml
{
    CurrentSet = "/Sets/8";
    NetworkServices = {
        1 = {
[...]

However, your changes may be overwritten by configd or something else
if you're editing the currently active preferences.xml file.  Is there
a reason you're not using the SystemConfiguration framework?
