Todd,

I'm wondering the same thing. Have you been able to script Expose?
Based on the recent Expose hacks floating around the web, I took a look at what exactly they modify. It seems that Expose's preferences are kept in the Dock's preferences file (com.apple.Dock) and can therefore be modified by the defaults command.
The ones that look promising for disabling Expose are:
wvous-bl-corner
wvous-br-corner
wvous-tl-corner
wvous-tr-corner
(b = bottom, t = top, l = left, r = right)

After a quick test in the Terminal, this:
defaults write com.apple.Desktop wvous-bl-corner 0; killall Dock
seemed to turn off Expose's effect on the bottom left corner of the screen. So you could just wrap that up in "do shell script".
