I've been doing exactly the same thing, but a tad differently.
After the .aux file is generated, I run it through the bibtool app:
$> bibtool -x yourfile.aux -o yourfile.bib
that should generate your tailored bibtex database.
After that, you'll only have to change the \bibliography{...} command inside
yourfile.tex to
\bibliography{yourfile}
That's been working for me.
