OK, here's the inbound:

And the outbound replaces elements in only the array area (in this case, 
just the EAS but other options may be included - LDAP, IMAP, etc.)
<dict>
      <key>EmailAddress</key>
      <string>greghacke@domain.com</string>
      <key>Host</key>
      <string>exchange.domain.com</string>
      <key>MailNumberOfPastDaysToSync</key>
      <integer>3</integer>
      <key>Password</key>
      <string>MyPassword</string>
      <key>PayloadDescription</key>
      <string>Configures device for use with Microsoft Exchange

      <key>PayloadDisplayName</key>
      <string>Exchange</string>
      <key>PayloadIdentifier</key>
      <string>com.domain.enterprise.eas</string>
      <key>PayloadOrganization</key>
      <string>TipsHouse</string>
      <key>PayloadType</key>

      <key>PayloadUUID</key>
      <string>FE477C13-BF4F-4EA0-BE09-3968EC40C952</string>

      <key>SSL</key>
      <true/>
      <key>UserName</key>
      <string>domain\greghacke</string>
    </dict>

Now, the initial file is provided to me may be replaced as needed. I 
would like to avoid converting it to ERb as I cannot gaurentee anyone 
else will do the work to ensure it stays updated and correct.

I've dug around - really - and found two examples for single element 
replacement.

My belief is that there are a plethora of options execute this. I would 
like to do something like:
File.copy(master,user_file)
File.open('/tmp/temp_file.txt', 'w+') do | new_file |
     new_file.puts(File.open(user_file, 'r') do | original_file |
     original_file.read.gsub(/\{username\}/, username)
     end)
end
FileUtils.mv("/tmp/replaceable2.txt", user_file)

  text= File.read user_file
  File.open(user_file, 'w+'){|f| f << text.gsub(/\{username\}/, 
username)}
