in the client, you can configure a command to execute after wpkg.js (Variable, 
actions -> Execute after).  There you can put sth. like
cmd /c copy /y "%SystemRoot%\system32\wpkg.xml" 
\\host\share\%COMPUTERNAME%.xml

Mybe you need the testing version of the client for that - see 
http://www1.wpkg.org/files/client/beta/test/2009-01-24/
Then you need to somehow setup the connection to the share, one IMHO very 
clean way to do this with the above testing version is to check "Path, users 
_> Use computer account and password" and grant the group "Domain Computers" 
read permission on the share(s) containing WPKG and SOFTWARE and write 
permissions on the share referenced in the above copy command.  This way there 
is no need to save some user's password for WPKG to run.

HTH,
Malte
