I've tried your script on Mac, it only works for first 3 pages that's weird (i'm running darwin ports for xml functions)... Anyway, tried manually do it through firefox, latest page is 16. That's the limit. But if you have the ID of the previous tweets you could use statuses/SHOW for that ID... the problem is:
IF you are backing up your account because you have all your tweet IDs, you will need 1 request per tweet, and maximum is 350 (with HUGE luck) per hour.... In my case, I got 10k, 3k via REST and 7k left to do... 7 THOUSAND REQUEST??? Come on twitter, help us, developers, start thingking on backups, we know you are gonna explode!.
