This appears to belong in /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Profiles on a Debian Linux Plex Media Server.

sudo -u plex mkdir /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Profiles
sudo -u plex cp your_file.xml /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Profiles/

(per https://forums.plex.tv/t/client-profiles-do-these-get-overwritten/305074/10)

On QNAP devices the path seems to be /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/PlexMediaServer/Resources/Profiles for anyone else that might go looking for it.

On FreeBSD 11 it's /usr/local/share/plexmediaserver/Resources/Profiles

On Asustor NAS it belongs in /volume1/Plex/Library/Plex Media Server/Profiles

On Synology DSM 7 it belongs in /volume1/PlexMediaServer/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Profiles

On Synology DSM 6 it belongs in /volume1/Plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Profiles
