HI hcooper!
Did you have the opportunity to build upon your script ? I am working on a similar project, with the intention to replace my Lightroom Publish plugin with a home-made automated synchronization (in a Linux environment). I am still at the beginning of my research, and struggling to get any documentation on the Koken API...
Do you have any insights or documentation that would be helpful ?
Best regards.

@mowog78 @hcooper and all the internetz stopping by :

There is an improved version with local upload/remote download that asks for your password and is scriptable here..
