Hi Dave,
I haven't tried to run CB in a command line app, but one little note: make sure you don't use WiFi while connected. WiFi and BLE interfere severely on my Mac Mini. I guess it's similar on the MacBook.
Do you want to connect to an i* device or a proprietary one? i* devices change their BLE addresses every few minutes. If you don't use secure connection, then I think they can get out of sync. This is probably the reason why you need to do a scan. Command line or Cocoa should not make any difference IMHO.
