As you found out, this won't work. Python-Fu scripts can only be invoked
from GIMP itself.

Write your script like any other python-fu script, and stick it in the
plug-ins directory:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from gimpfu import *
def do_stuff():
img = gimp.Image(100, 100, RGB)
print img
register(
"python_fu_do_stuff",
"Stuff",
"Things!",
"Me!",
"Me!",
"2005",
"<Toolbox>/Xtns/Python-Fu/Do Stuff",
"",
[],
[],
do_stuff)
main()
Then invoke from the command line:
$ gimp -i -b '(python-fu-do-stuff 1)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
This will create an image and print "<gimp.Image 'Untitled'>" to the
console if successful.
