Dave and all,
I've gotten several helpful replies now but I'm still a little worried here.
Its starting to sound like this isn't a very good approach to my goal. I've
added some comments and thoughts inline below:

I've attempted testing this on several similar configurations, both my
development and staging servers and am not getting successful results. I've
tried including a timeout here as well with no luck.
My development and staging machines are both running 4.5.1 and NT 4 SP5
(maybe 4.0 is the problem). If I add an outputfile param on the tag, the
'user /add' command produces no result (empty text file). If I issue a
'user' command, it produces an enumeration list in the file, but also the
ambigous 'one or more errors' message. If I issue a different command like
'view', it enumerates all the machines on the domain and reports 'operation
completed successfully'.

Justing MacCarthy also suggested this route but this is turning into more
complexity than I have time or resources for right now. I was also provided
a good link to Lewis Sellers usermanager suite which appears to contain a
bunch of CFX's that will do exactly what I need.

Could you elaborate on this a little for me?
Thanks,
