I'm not sure I understand the question right, but the kickstart

cobbler system getks --name=YourSystem
The templates lie in /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts

Thanks.
I think my problem was -- I didn't realize before that the kickstart was
being generated dynamically. I was looking for a file on the system
"systemname" because that's what the browser displayed in the URL. But
I now realize there is no such file.
What I should have been doing is looking at the profile and seeing what
template it was based on (in this case it was "sample.ks").
"sample.ks"
is full of snippets, so it doesn't really look like the final kickstart
file presented to the client. i.e. The final kickstart file is
dynamically generated and doesn't exist anywhere on the system.
Another "gotcha" I found, related to the parsing error I was seeing. It
seems that the output of the snippets (generated by Cheetah?) can
contain $() clauses, but the Cheetah parser will not accept $() as input
without escaping the dollar($) with a backslash (\).
I have a related question but I'm going to start a new thread to avoid
mucking up this one.
