Where are Bridge's keywords stored?

Question

Hey I am using Bridge CS3.
My image storage methodology in brief:
I have a partition on my main work station that acts as my image storehouse. I have the same on my laptop. I have Bridge pointing at those partitions, receptively on each computer.
When in the field I use the laptop as dump for the cards that I fill from the digital camera. I do some work in the field, on the laptop, such as rotating, sorting and some basic metadata work like keyword assignment.
When I get back to the main workstation, I copy the image material over from the laptop just as I had arranged them in the field. The beauty of this methodology, with Bridge's help, is that the rotations and keywords, written to the metadata, stick to each image.
But there is one problem that does drive me crazy.
I have a lot of keywords and I organize them in sets but when I open my transfered images I do not get the set that was on the laptop or vice versa. Instead I get my assigned keywords in 'Other Keywords"
I would like to copy the set from one computer to the other so that each was the same setup. But I cannot locate where these keywords are stored for the Bridge application. I looked in the Bridge application folder, I looked in the user library, Adobe folder, Application Support, I even looked into the App's package contents. Nothing is leaping out at me as the obvious place, nothing is labeled keywords.
Can someone tell me what file or applet this information is stored in?
Thanks a million times.

Beverly,
As a cautionary note, I absolutely and utterly detest and despise iPhoto.
Having gotten that out of the way, in Bridge you don't have to deal with libraries or albums, and you don't need to
"import" anything. If the Finder can see it, so can Bridge--in the same place.
You can use either the Finder
or
Bridge to move and organize your files any way you want, and the files will be visible to both applications.
iPhoto hides your imported photos in packages the Finder and other applications can't access. Neither can iPhoto see or find photos you haven't "imported" into its libraries.
Bridge can see, browse and hand to other applications all kinds of files, not just photos, like PDFs, Illustrator file, MS Word files, text clippings, picture clippings, whatever.
Read the manual, the help files, the video tutorials accessible through Bridge home on your machine, etc. You can also google
Adobe Bridge Tutorials.
