Hello, I am the original poster. Through a bit of cranial flatulence on my part, I posted that my issues had been solved in a thread other than this one.
I ended up using the Java class mentioned earlier, and it works like a charm. Although the discussion has been stimulating from an academic standpoint, adding a Mac to the network was never a realistic option. Also speaking from an academic standpoint, I wonder if users of Apple X-Serves get any of that kind of functionality to play with (or will in the near future). As a photographer who deals with metadata regularly, I can appreciate the value of robust system-level support for it. Thanks to everyone who posted with ideas and suggestions, especially James, whose help was invaluable. Regards, Warren L.
