That's what I'm doing of course, but it is an accident waiting to
happen. If I lose the list in some way, I'm screwed as it stands now
and my customer data is inaccessible.

Oh there doesn't seem a good way to backup the entire datastore at
this point if your data contains namespaces. The only option appears
to be per kind, per namespace. The statistic that the bulk loader uses
for downloading all entities is only available in the default
namespace, so that won't fly if you have multiple namespaces, maybe
with different entities in a namespace.

I've filed an issue for listing the namespaces here:
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=3813 and for
downloading all data here 
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=3814.
Please star these issues.
