Can you use your whatever-is-already working sudo mojo to implement  
Chris' security suggestion?

Then you'd have a clean slate from a security perspective and could  
just copy files with scp.

At that juncture you can cleanly pick and choose whatever scripting  
language you want.

For example, replacing icky bash scripts with oh-so-gorgeous Perl  
scripts*.
