If I knew it would have taken this long, I simply would have made the folder shared by apache and just parsed the return string of an http get in Objective-C. My approach here was to use AppleScript since it appeared to offer the events I wanted to trap and would be straightforward and easy. Thanks to Gatekeeper, it certainly wasn't the case.
