I think that you'd benefit from splitting your problem. For your problem think of the scheduler just as a timer that runs CF pages - nothing more. So first you need to ignore the scheduler and create a CF page that does your fetch one time.
THEN use the scheduler to run that page once an hour. To do what you want you'd (if I understand correctly) you'd use CFEXECUTE to run the command to LiveUpdate. That's it, right? LiveUpdate handles installing the file and everything, right? Once that's done save the page on your server. Now use the scheduler to run that file once per hour.
