Once you create an item (job) you should be able to overwrite the config.xml file aftwards:

I believe this call will work:

curl -s -XPOST 'http://jenkins/job/FolderName/ProjectName/config.xml' --data-binary @config.xml -H "Content-Type:text/xml" --user user.name:YourAPIToken

or

curl -s -XPUT 'http://jenkins/job/FolderName/ProjectName/config.xml' --data-binary @config.xml -H "Content-Type:text/xml" --user user.name:YourAPIToken
