Sorry if this may seem basic to some but is there anything I need to know about the format of the u-boot.bin?  I want to write a program to burn the flash on the MPC8349 via the PCI interface.  Just not sure where to get info on binary file format and if there is anything unique about the binary created from u-boot.

This question is best asked on the u-boot lists.  But the u-boot.bin  
is a straight binary file.  The contents should be placed directly  
into the location of flash that you desire.

It's a raw binary image. Just data.

Why not using a JTAG debugger?

Can you please mind the netiquette? I. e. no HTML postings,  trimming
to line length to some 70 characters or so, etc.

Also, you should have posted on the u-boot-users list; your  question
is actually off topic here.
