Who or what is determining the initial working directory of the 'do
shell script' command?
See: <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html> for the
straight-goods on 'do shell script'.
BTW, a partial solution to some of your needs can be attained using
the 'expect' command <x-man-page://expect>.
It's not the easiest tool to get the hang of but it can for instance
script an FTP session and echo progress (via 'osascript') to an
AppleScript stay-open applet.
